Köppen climate type:
Disseminated and nodular chalcocite near the base of the Headley's Limestone. Discontinuous patches occur over a 3 metre length, mostly low value. Like many of the prospects in the East Kimberley, it is of limited extent, and no economic value. Located about 5 kilometres south-west of the Rosewood pastoral station homestead, and a similar distance east of the Behn Gorge, near the Western Australia and Northern Territory border. The Argyle Downs homestead is a short distance south. The north-east to south-west natural rocky bar crossing the plain at the location is assumed by the writer to be the wall, with the prospect in the vicinity. Map approximate.
