A former mica mine.
A small mine 200 metres north of the Intermediate group of workings. The mine was active in 1958 by an open cut. The un-zoned pegmatite contains mica books up to 9 inches square, dips 45-70 degrees east, averaging 6 feet thick. The hanging wall had a slightly higher concentration of mica, mostly stained by weathering, with feldspar kaolinised. The pegmatite narrows at both ends, inter-fingering with country rock.
