31 kilometres north-west of Cue. Discovered 1909, and mining till 1913 recovering 3.25 tonnes of cassiterite concentrate. The field was then abandoned. It contains a series of thin pegmatite veins striking north-east, dipping south-east, along parallel ridges for 900 metres. Suggested GPS co-ordinates are 567,577E 6,997,802N UTM50 AGD84(?).
The pegmatite field is 4 kilometres long by one kilometre wide in greenstone and granite schists, traversed by several pegmatite dykes, some tin bearing. There are two types of pegmatites being mica and quartz, and the second albitic and tin bearing. The main cassiterite area contains several intersecting dykes, half a mile long, containing large cassiterite crystals, in the basal sections of the dykes.
