Granodiorite Hill
Voudouris et al. (2008) described an occurrence of a porphyry type deposit with minor molybdenite, scheelite and some sulphide minerals (including pyrite which is by far the most common sulphide). This mineralised porphyry was not actively mined. The outcrop is about 300 m x 400 m and basically represented by a small hill. It can be accessed via a small footpath.
Called "Granodiorite Hill" in Voudouris et al. (2021).
