The most south-westernly shaft along the main line of lode. This shaft is used as a haulage shaft for the southern extremity of the Zinc / NBHC (now Perilya Southern Operations) mine. The immediate area around the shaft is best known for the discovery of flat tabular hexagonal calcite crystals with frosted edges. The best prehnite crystals were also found in the vicinity of this shaft.
NOTE: This is a separate location to the Southern Cross Mine, which is series of small shafts and pits along a quartz-gahnite / garnet sandstone horizon, 15 km north of Broken Hill on Nine Mile pastoral station.
