Mineral deposit model | Stibnite-bearing quartz vein. |
Workings or exploration | Prospect pit only. The prospect was examined in 1942 as a possible source for antimony but the limited exposures and insufficient quantities of mineralization did not warrant additional exploration (Killeen and Mertie, 1951). |
