Located 650 metres south-west of the Mount Vetters homestead. Many gold mines and prospects in the immediate area.
Ultramafic 50 metres thick, bordered on the west by a thin formation of chloritic metabasalt, to metagabbro. Dips steeply west. Disseminated, and matrix sulphides with rare lenses in fine grained foliated actinolite, and chlorite rock at the top contact of the ultramafics. Pyrrhotite dominates, with violarite after pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, smythite. Explored by Amax 1967-1973.
The absence of primary Ni sulphides has seen the deposit viewed as uneconomic.
