Located approximately 400 metres east south-east of Giles Elbaite pegmatite. On the crest of a rise are several small pits showing massive columbite, but not the famous crystals of Giles Columbite pegmatite nearby. It has a wall zone of microcline-quartz-muscovite with minor plagioclase, and a white quartz core. There was a brief period of prospecting here sometime after 1945, before being abandoned.
