Statement of Significance
The company operated two shafts on their property. The most significant extant remains are at No. 1 shaft and consist of a substantial mullock dump, chiefly made up of water-washed quartz pebbles and stones, and the beam wall of a brick Cornish engine house. The beam engine used here was the second largest such engine to be made locally in Victoria. It was identical to that installed at the Berry No. 1 mine down the road.
