Historic tin mine, 300 metres south of the Temora Mine, and 70 metres north of the Cootes Lone Hand Mine. The map is approximate.
A 1915 inspection by the NSW Geological Survey states the shaft is to a depth of 27 feet from the surface. It has been sunk on quartz-tourmaline greisen, striking east-west, dipping south 62 degrees, in granite. The lease was taken out in 1912, and was already abandoned when visited in 1915. The geologist did not find payable cassiterite, but notes a lot of wolframite at the location.
