Gold mine about one kilometre north-west of the Comet mine, and six kilometres south of Marble bar. The site contains the remains of the adit into the side of the hill, and a reasonably large amount of mullock. Access appears difficult with a faint track heading west, partly in a creek bed. GML 929.

The site was discovered by Harry Boyd, William Robertson, and Thomas J. Starr. They conducted some initial development in 1937, but Starr found the Comet mine nearby shortly after, and activity moved to there.

Sydney based Wingello Gold Mines NL took out an option over the mine. Mid 1938, Ora Banda South NL purchased the mine for 5000 pounds to be paid from gold won, and 50 000 fully paid shares.

The site contains a flat bed of gold bearing conglomerate, dipping 5 degrees west. Ore was dumped at the mouth of the adit, then taken by flying fox to the bottom of the hill, and transported to a battery in Marble Bar. Mine manager was W.P. King. Six men were employed. Activity continued to 1939, then stops. In September 1939, the company takes up the Tassy Queen South lease GML 1034.

Small crushings were found in 1942, and 1946, but no names are mentioned.
