Discovered in 1953 by Paul Mulliette of Toronto. The ore bodies were in a series of northerly striking granite pegmatite dykes in biotite-horneblende feldspar gneiss.

"The deposit was worked by Canadian Dyno Mines Limited from 1954 to 1960. It was discovered in 1953 by Paul Muilliette. A shaft was sunk to a depth of 524.6 m was used and a mill operated on the site. Production amounted to 363,758 kg of U308."
