Located 78 kim west south west of Halls Creek.
Located in a north north-west trending fault zone, cutting granite, migmatite, and the Halls Creek Group biotite rich paragneiss. Within the fault zones are lenses of calc-silicate and ultramafic rock. The fault zone dips steeply west, the lode a narrow area of quartz and calcite containing galena, cerussite, and malachite (with other un-named secondary copper minerals). The lode is 500 metres long by 100 metres wide. At the north end is a trench and small pits. Explored by Serem Australia 1968-1971, Roebuck 1990-1993. The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
