Activity was found at the site between 1923 to 1933. For most of this period small crushings were taken out by F. Williams, who also worked the nearby Dark Horse mine. Stokes and Crawford (surnames) were also found listed with Williams. GML 1914W. October 1933, it is reported A.J. Becker had taken over the lease and dollied a small amount of stone.
Little appears to remain other than a small heap of mullock hidden in a thicket of bushes. Collapsed shafts could be at the location but would require an on the ground inspection. The site is located about 100 metres south of the Enterprise-Mt Pleasant haulage road, and the Grants Patch-Black Flag Road. No entry signs will greet any visitor for virtually the entire Black Flag Goldfield's area. Parts are active mine sites for Norton Goldfields.
