Located approximately 60kms south-west of Charters Towers.
Mining commenced here around 1989 and worked until 1998, when the mine was placed on care and maintenance.
The mine was acquired by Red River Resources in 2014. In 2017 Red River entered into a three year agreement with Glencore for the sale of copper product.
The geology of the deposit comprises five semi-massive to massive sulphide lenses rich in zinc and lead. The ores and host rocks have been deformed and metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies.
