This mine is at the far north-west extent of the goldfield, approximately 3 to 5 kilometres south of the Mount Magnet-Yalgoo Road. At the time of writing the lease was active. Sheds and processing equipment at the site indicate it has been active over recent decades, probably as a part-time hobby for a miner.
The site only appears once in production records. In 1941 it produced 12.25 tonnes for 26.45 oz. However, active mining may have occurred here from 1937 to 1948, but tonnages were so low it was listed in the 'sundry' section of the Department of Mines reports.
