The deposit was originally staked for garnet in 1910 by James Coyne & Thomas Ryan. J. J. Jewell and Company took over the claims in 1910 and did some exploratory work, from 1922 to 1924 Bancroft Mines Syndicate, Limited worked the deposit from a quarry; the ore was treated in a small concentrator erected on the site and over 1360 tonnes of picked ore and concentrates were shipped to the Carborundum Company, Niagara Falls, New York for use in the manufacture of abrasive sandpaper.
