An old alluvial tin mine in mortheastern Tasmania.
The Leona leases had been worked out prior to 1923 when the nearby New Henbury Mine was being established.
The ore deposits are in alluvial ground on the valley floor in depths of 5 to 13 metres, and contain a little gold as well as tin. Access is via a good track, and open forest. The collecting area is in the old workings along a creek. The level of the creek is probably a few metres lower that before any mining took place.
