Description:
This is a significant site in regional metallogenesis (Earls et al., 1996), of particular interest as it demonstrates both stratabound and cross-cutting sulphide mineralization rich in Zn, Pb, As and Au. However, exposure is limited to a stream section, which at the date of visiting in 1997 was largely overgrown.
