The largest community in the interior of southwestern Nova Scotia. The area was the site of numerous small prospects in the late 1800s and early 1900s. North of the community, a larger operation was constructed to mine manganese. Very little remains to be found today.

Regarding columbite, Walker and Parsons (1923) provide a chemical analysis from a sample from 'Lavers Mine' that is in the middle of the columbite-(Fe)-columbite-(Mn) series.

ⓘ Albite
Formula: Na(AlSi3O8)
ⓘ Amblygonite
Formula: LiAl(PO4)F
Description: MinDat, on the pages for amblygonote and montebrasite, indicates that virtually all reported amblygonite from granites is actually montebrasite. Further, a chemical analysis by Walker and Parsons (1924) shows that the material is very low in fluorine and high in water/hydroxyl.
