This is a graphite prospect held as an exploration area by Buxton Resources (85%) and Montezuma Mining (15%) (2015). The exploration company does not provide location details, but if the deposit is named after geographical features including a road, hill and outstation, then it should be somewhere north of the Byro Station Homestead, approximately 200 kilometres north of the Murchison Settlement. The Mindat co-ordinates mark the Yalbra outstation.

The company claims the deposit has the highest grade graphite in Australia, at 2.27 Mt @ 20.1% TGC. 15 drill holes showed graphite ranging from 26.85 to 33.0% TGC. The company has taken over outlying graphite tenements Coordewandy and Gum Creek. The target area contains several historic exploration trenches showing visible graphite along a 4 kilometres strike as medium to coarse flakes.
