A small tin trial stated to lie approximately 150 metres to the north-north-east of Reperry Mill. Between 1864 and 1870 it was recorded to have produced 3 tons of black tin (concentrate). There is a reference to the presence of antimony ore although there appears to be little other detail.

The site of the trial appears to have later been engulfed by a quarry.
