Gold prospect. Located on maps as 2 kilometres north north-east of the Golden Eagle mine. In 1905, it was reported 54 tonnes of ore for 97.12 ounces of gold from Q.C. 259 Puzzle mine in the Nullagine district. Unconfirmed if same location. Access is south along a road from Skull Springs Road, half-way between Nullagine and Five Mile Creek. After a couple of kilometres is the first major crossroad track. The Linq and Hut prospects are to the left, Puzzler to the right (west) by about 200 metres and appears to be a bulldozed area. There are many tracks, bulldozed areas, and disturbed ground throughout the area. Just north of the Five Mile Patch. Map approximate only.
The deposit is situated in a fault system, with primary mineralisation in quartz veins 500 metres long.
