In 1905 rich silver ore was found on the Green-Meehan property by Philip Green. In the following year, Green-Meehan Mining Co.Ltd. undertook development of the property and sank a 200-ft. shaft but the results at depth were disappointing. Between 1906 and 1907, Red Rock Silver Mining Co. put down a 110ft. shaft and discovered a rich ore shoot 16 feet long that produced 60,000 oz. of silver. Various companys operated the mine after 1909 and in 1917 Wright Limited built a mill which treated the ore from the Green-Meehan, Red Rock and other properties in the area.
Total development centered on 5 shafts the deepest being 200 feet. The property last produced in 1939 and production from 1905 to 1939 was approx. half a million ounces of silver, 27,000 lbs. Co and 6700 lbs, Cu.
2019 update-Caution should be exercised when visiting this site as an open stope has collapsed beyond the protective fencing.
