Located east of the Yinnietharra Homestead, the area around Camel Hill contains numerous pegmatites. Alex Kenyon explored and mined gemstone and specimen material from 1992 and 1996 in the area surrounding the hill. This included beryl, dravite and rose quartz west of Camel Hill. Areas north and south of the hill were explored by Kelgem Pty Ltd from 1993-1997, BWD Gemstones Pty Ltd 1998, Barry J Bellotti of Carnarvon 1999. Glengarry Resources from 2001 identified columbite-tantalite pegmatites south of the Thomas River near Camel Hill. Beryl bearing pegmatites are found west of Camel Hill, a bismuth bearing pegmatite near the summit of the hill, but beyond this little is known. Specimens have not been seen for the location, although potentially could be labelled simply Yinnietharra.
Mindat map marks Camel Hill.
