Trenching and pittimg in the 1930's traced a 60 cm wide quartz vein for over 300 m (Horwood 1940). The vein contains small amounts of pyrite and carbonate and panned colours in gold. In one pit the vein was found to strike N83deg.E and dip steeply to the north. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION: A quartz vein 60 cm wide and at least 300 m long panned colours in gold.
