Köppen climate type:
A diamond property located adjacent to the Argyle lamproite pipe (Argyle mine). Closed about the end of 1985.
Limestone Creek drains from near the AK1 (Argyle Pipe) in an east then north-east direction. It shows as an alluvial fan, terraces and modern flood plain terraces, and channel deposits. The alluvial fan is immediately east of the Argyle Pipe. It is 3-5 metres deep, pisolitic, containing iron oxide rimmed clasts bounded with a ferruginous cement. Erosion has produced diamondiferous lag and gravels. The flood plain deposits are 4 metres deep as narrow, sinuous and partly braided, with up to 3 metres of sand and silt overburden.
