The Beverley uranium deposit was discovered in 1969 and is an active In-Situ-Leaching mine since 2002. The mine had already produced 4400 t of U3O8 (end 2005) and remaining resources were estimated at 13600 t U3O8. The exploration campaign undergone between the mine and the Northern Flinders Ranges lead to the discovery of a new prospect: the 4 Mile Creek Prospect.

The deposit is located in the siltstones and sandstones of the Miocene Namba Formation (Lake Eyre basin, Callabonna sub-basin), at a depth between -100 and -140 metres. The ore is composed of reduced black mineralisation in sediments containing organic matter. Locally, the mineralisation changes into oxidized, kaolinite- and alunite-rich sediments containing in carnotite.

The uranium mineralogy of the new 4 Mile Creek Prospect is still unavailable but probably of reduced nature. The mineralized formations are thought to be in the Eyre Formation (Eocene to Oligocene).
The prospect and the mine are located about 23 kilometres east of Mt Painter in the northern Flinders Ranges, in the High Paralana Plains, not far from the Paralana Hot Springs.

The deposit is hold by Heathgate Resources Pty Ltd. Exploration is actively conducted by Heathgate and another company: Alliance Resources Pty Ltd.
