About 4 kilometres north of Meekatharra and just west of the highway. It is just north of the Haveluck mine. Discovered by someone called Ralph, who obtained 270 oz of nuggets from the initial find. The main mine was called Multum in Parvo (GML 610N), held by the Ralph brothers from 1905 to 1910. It was occupied later by other parties but little in the way of gold was found. C.F. Connolly crushed 60 tonnes from the mine in 1910 from the old dump.
The geology resembles the Haveluck gold mine except the dykes are larger, and quartz veins occur outside them.
