A Pb-Zn-Cu-Ag-Au mine located atop Mt Read, 6 miles (10km) South of Rosebery. The ore is similar to Rosebery (massive, pyrite-rich sulphide ore), but is more metamorphosed and deformed. The ore is hosted in Mount Read Volcanics.

Mining was mostly between 1894-1986, but there has been some small scale, mostly underground, mining at times since. Rehabilitation works began in 2004/2005, despite some some localised mining since. There are small exposures of the sulphides and gossan in open cuts and adits at the summit.

On an active mining lease and unauthorised entry is forbidden.
