Gold was discovered in the area in significant amounts about 1918-1919 and exploration work including shaft sinking and lateral development carried out over the next ten years. Records of this work are now lost. The mineralization is contained in quartz veins,in pyritized zones associated with carbonated rocks, in quartz carbonate shear zones and in mineralized porphyrys.
