Government geologist, E.S. Simpson, discovered the first occurence of lithiophilite and sicklerite in Western Australia, from this pegmatite in 1927.

The pegmatite is 625 metres north-west of the Wodgina Mine. The pegmatite is reached by taking a side track to the west from the Wodgina Mine access road. It ends at a cliff, and the pegmatite is about 100 metres south, marked by piles of weathered phosphate masses, and some overgrown potholes from historic mining.

Around 1927 a prospector named Lewis recovered large masses of altered lithiophilite. Simpson states a tonne or more was mined from three bands in the outcrop of a quartz-microcline-albite pegmatite. A geologist investigating the site in 1944 stated it contained tiny lath-shaped manganotantalite crystals in albite, quartz and spessartine. The tantalite crystals in fine grained albite was confirmed by a geologist visit in 1994.

The pegmatite strikes for 1.6 kms intruded into the Archaean Warrawoona Group Euro Basalt. At the northern end of the pegmatite several phosphate minerals are said to be exposed on the outcrop and rubble. The specimens originally collected by E.S. Simpson are in the Gartrell Collection in the Western Australian Museum. Ernest Nickel at the CSIRO studied the specimens identifying several additional phosphate species not recognised by Simpson.
