A tin mine in northeastern Tasmania. The lodes of this mine were discovered in the 1880s but it wasn’t until 1911 that any serious work was undertaken. The period through to 1929 produced around 900 tons of concentrated tin ore. The tin lodes are vertical N-S greisen veins in granite, containing topaz, cassiterite, tourmaline sulphides and uranium minerals.
