The Barker Well Group is located 50 kilometres southeast of Warrawagine at the northern end of the Braeside lead field. It is 13.7 kilometres north of Lightning Ridge Mine.
The mining here (five worked bodies) followed a group of gossanous quartz veins trending between 320 and 340 degrees in basalts of the Fortescue Group.
Galena (argentiferous), pyrite, sphalerite, cerussite, malachite, beudantite, plumbojarosite, limonite, quartz and brochantite have been found here.
Between 1949-1952, production of 21.3 tonnes of lead and 3.87 kilograms of silver has been recorded from these lodes.
The Simpson Mineral Collection of the Western Australian Museum contains specimens MDC 4757 and SC S3358 from this location.
Details for this location are also taken from its entry (site code S0026200) in the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety's online database (MINEDEX) of mines, mineral deposits and prospects.
