A diamond mine, working a kimberlite pipe located along a kimberlite dyke.

The deposit was discovered in 1876 but already mined earlier by local Bashoto tribesmen for ilmenite.

Large-scale mining commenced in 1886 and continued until the start of the Boer War in 1899.

Since then, the mine was operated and re-evaluated only intermittently.

Located 10 miles NW of Clocolan.
