Located approximately 3kms South-West of Torrington.
Note: Several mines in the area operated by Heffernan at various times.
Operated as shafts, shallow pits and small opencut.
Operated by a B Finch.
It is very possible that the Beryl (Aquamarine) listed from here is in fact from Heffernan Bros Wolfram Mine. This is due to the fact that the Metallogenic Study and Mineral Deposit Data Sheets do not list Beryl from this mine.
Specimens simply listed as from Heffernans are probably more likely to be from Heffernan Bros Wolfram Mine.
