The Barium Ridge prospect is located 52 kilometres on a bearing of 132 degrees from Warrawagine.

Rumble Resources Ltd have highlighted broad zones of barium potassium feldspar with elevated lead, rubidium and gold by drilling at Barium Ridge. The barium potassium feldspar alteration has completely altered and replaced andesitic basalt along a major north northwest trending corridor. The Sugar Ramos prospect also lies within this barium corridor.

The barium is associated with potassium feldspar (celsian-hyalophane) along with silica-sericite alteration and broad zones of galena as micro-veins. Within the barium potassium feldspar zone, pyrite-silica zones also occur and low-grade gold has been intercepted.

Details for this location are also taken from its entry (site code S0237812) in the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety's online database (MINEDEX) of mines, mineral deposits and prospects.
