A former alluvial mining operation that was one of the major producers of the area.
Any workings were destroyed by large scale open cut mining 1963-1970.
Mined by Tallebung Alluvial Tin Ltd 1920, F.M. Gentle, F. Giles, D. Bourke, S.C. Theobold, F.A. Woods, J. Bourke 1937-1950, R.F. Collins, J. Bourke, 1951-1959, and Tullabong Tin Ltd 1963-1972.
Cassiterite in alluvial placer or wash being old stream channels. Geologist observations before 1963 note two branches. A southern lead 1100 metres long, and northern lead 780 metres long to its junction with the southern lead. Coarse wash overlying slate basement. The wash was at a depth of 18 metres from the surface, the leads varying from 0.15-1.5 metres wide, and 0.6 metres thick. Total reported from the entire Tallebung field 2989 tons concentrate containing 2134.18 tons of tin. A large proportion of this came from the central and southern leads. The area includes locations Plunkett's shaft, Pearce's shaft, O'Brien's Cut and Blue Shaft.
