The lessees of the Ridge Mine were William Rose and the Camp brothers (Frederick and Stanley). This mine had a plant costing at the time £12,000.
Located 4.5 kilometres north-west of the Gift mine. Galena, cerussite, barite, and minor cuprite, most mineralisation at the intersection of two quartz veins. A shaft had been sunk down to 40 metres below the surface sometime between 1948 to 1959 on the vein 75 to 90 cms wide, dipping north. There was also a second vein with a steep east dip, on it a shaft down to 38 metres. The mine produced 208 tonnes of lead and 60,153 grams silver.
A former lead and silver mine.
