Developed in 1899 on a strong calcite lode, ~2 m wide, on which a shaft was excavated to 6m depth. Host was siltstone raft in a diapir. The lode contained green copper carbonate ore, chalcocite, and iron oxide, with the mineralisation of low grade only, no production figures were recorded. It was located adjacent to Bowering Barite workings.
