Gold-bearing mineralisation in the Proterozoic basement rocks on Eyre Peninsula. Similar to the nearby Barns prospect.

Primary gold mineralisation in gneissic bedrock of similar character to Barns. The mineralised vein system is again underlain by a footwall shear or thrust zone with a shallow dip (20° to 30°) to the west.
Very poor bedrock exposure with extensive sand and calcrete cover, as well as sediments contained in an extensive Tertiary palaeochannel system.

Located around 5 km east of the Barns prospect.

Owned by Adelaide Resources Limited.
