The Justice Gold Mine is part of the western end of the Niagara main lode, and is found immediately west of the Orion pit, as a line of many shafts and small pits stretching for about 200 metres.
Activity at the site probably dates from 1895, however crushings under this name were only found from 1909 to 1911. The Orion company owned the lease and had let it out on tribute to Holk and Treloar.
JORC estimated resources at the site are 80 000 tonnes of ore at 1.9 g/t yielding 5000 ounces of gold.
