Development: Report written on the mine is dated 1914. Recent road building. Cordex drilled the holes and wesley mining has the lease. ; econ.com: none recorded
Geology: The orebodies were reported to be irregular, with no definite walls, along a fault plane in rhyolite that has been locally altered to kaolin and silicified. In places the host rock is leached white. The vein consists of quartz and silicified gouge.
