Just past the most eastern branch of the Mosquito Creek on the Skull Springs Road, a track heads south south-east through rugged country for about 5 kilometres to a prospector camp. This consists of a substantial shack, tanks, possible small processing plant and other equipment. A discontinuous line of historic shafts and stoped out trenches extends for about one kilometre east of the camp. The nearest on the top of the ridge is thought to be the Lands End Mine.
Very little information was found coming out of this remote location, although one source states it was a rich mine. The reef was said to be faulted at the western end, this section containing rich ore.
The mine produced 10.7 tonnes of ore for 113.84 ounces of gold in 1905. In 1908, the Lands End Extended produced 5 tonnes of ore for 12.5 ounces of gold. It is noted in 1910, the Lands End mine was being worked by Martin and Aikman (surnames). The main lode had been worked for a length of 130 feet by 2.5 feet wide. The mine produced a total of 96.5 tonnes of ore for 331.5 ounces of gold. GML 159L.
