The source states the lease was the first pegged in 1917, however the writer found information relating to the Bright Star location at Mount Francisco from 1906. Congo is located 1.61 kilometres north of the government well, although the well location is not known.
Arrow shaped manganocolumbite crystals to several centimetres are reported from the lease, as well as shapeless masses to 2.2 kilograms, in albite and quartz. The lease was the first report of helvite in Western Australia.
