This mine is not on the Edjudina line of lode, but is a separate historic mine some 5 kilometres north-east of the Neta Gold Mine. It is contained within the Edjudina Range.
Heading east from the Yarri Goldfield, immediately after crossing the Carousue Dam haulage road, a very rough track branches off and heads north-east for 5 kilometres.
This ends at a tank, and immediately north is a short line of shafts. 500 metres to the north-east of this is another couple of shafts and small trench. 500 metres north of the original location is another couple of small trenches.
The mine is noted in 1903 as being owned by the Crawley brothers, Tibberts and Thomas. A trial crushing had taken place of 94 tonnes yielding 109 ounces of gold. The reef had been followed down to 50 feet. The reef was 2 feet 6 inches wide on the hanging Wall, with poorer grade stone across to the Footwall. Two other reefs are noted on the property.
The same report states McGregor and party were on good surface stone 1 mile to the south. This was located between the two Edjudina Range ridgelines, as possibly a short line of shafts. A barely discernable track goes to the location. Expect to wreck the car attempting
