Carissa Shaft
Reef quartz with minor cellular patches, possibly after galena and other sulphides. This is probably the shaft from which a quartz sample assayed 16.6% Pb and 0.5 g/t Au (Electrolytic Zinc Co., Pers comm.).

Brura Prospect
The Brura ironstone was first leased in the 1907 prospecting boom but was not sunk upon. Assays have been generally discouraging with maximum recorded values of 280 ppm Pb, 240 ppm Cu, 480 ppm Zn, 106 ppm Ni in the ironstone (30-40% Fe).

East Ridge Prospect
A small shaft occurs on the eastern flank of the Bee-Nurri ridge.

Mt Nurri Prospect
Trend is 160 deg, bearing in the direction of a weak geochemical response (344ppm Pb) some 350m north from shafts.

Narri Prospect
Strike of mineralized zone is 150 deg. The disseminated sulphide, mostly pyrite, forms a zone up to 150m wide.

Rookery Prospect
A broad zone of feeble mineralization strikes approx 150 deg. Both at surface and in the diamond drill cores, it appears that bedding dips steeply (75-85 deg) to either east or west, whereas the cleavage is more uniformly east dipping (80 deg).
pyrite (arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, galena, mackinawite, marcasite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite)

Rookery Fireclay
Clay from here was probably likely used in manufacture of the refractory bricks for the Great Cobar smelters in the 1880s. A well developed pallid zone appears to be present beneath silcrete

Rookery Limestone
Limestone has been quarried on the Rookery Property, where the chief area of limestone close to Cobar is located. A limekilns operated in ml 4 of Parish Bee and there was a quarry opened near it in ml 11.

Snelson & Ward Claim
Three sites of old Workings (GS 1981/088, pl.2) lie close to the unconformity or faulted contact with the Girilambone group. The workings lie along a NS elongate outcrop of the conglomeratic basal Meryula Formation.

The Lease Prospect
Main gossanous zone is 5-10 m wide and dips subvertically. Prospect is in an 800 m long ip chargeability zone, trending 165 deg, and carrying intermittent enhanced metal values.
limonite, mn oxide (arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, sphalerite)

Great Eastern
The Great Eastern Shaft was 30 m deep when first reported on in 1907 as a large outcrop of ironstone in slate, showing gossan at depth. Traces of copper were later reported. Two shafts and several pits have been sunk along a quartz zone.

Donnelly Prospect
The shaft appears to have been sunk on a zone of quartz veining with thin bands of gossan parallel to bedding, and the lease was taken in 1903 for gold (reefing). The minor gossan also contains anomalous concentrations of Cu, Pb and Zn.

Minor traces of copper, and at one place copper staining, in weathered volcanics. Auger geochemistry results and geological mapping suggests relationship of the sparse values with a quartz veined fault zone.

Rabbit Hill Mine
Minor gossan occurs close to the Rabbit Hill Shaft and some faint copper staining is seen in shaft dump material. A textural study of the gossan (GS 1975/342) suggests it to be after sphalerite and galena. Strike is N-S.

Baal Gammon
The Baal Gammon shaft is sunk on a small line of gossan and gossanous breccia outcrops. Gossanous breccia at surface strikes 168 deg and dips 65 deg east. This may have been a stratabound sulphide desposit associated with felsic volcanics.

Tipping Prospect
This site, which was not visited in the present study, has prospecting holes along the crest of a low ridge in slate country.

Little Boppy
Strike is roughly north-south (mine record 851). The dip is to the west. This deposit may have a similar origin to the Girilambone and Budgery copper deposits.

Boppy Broken Hill
Lode is wide (21 m) and low grade. Strike is north- westerly, with steep easterly underlay on footwall.

Venturer Shaft
This shaft was named by Gold fields exploration Pty Ltd in 1986 after the nearby venturer (scouts) camp. Its early history is unknown. The shaft appears to have penetrated Devonian basal strata to intersect the Girilambone group at about 20 m.

Boppy Boulder

Extensive shallow pits closely spaced.
This occurrence consists of shallow alluvial workings, probably for gold, located on a north-south trending creek. The workings are about 850m long and about 100m wide.

A single shaft.
A single shaft was sunk to prove the position of main deep lead system east of Home Rule. The shaft was bottomed however it collasped before any wash could be treted (Jones 1934). The shaft has copllapsed to within 3 metres of the surface.

This kaolin deposit is high in silica and low in aluminium, iron and titanium.
alluvium - Ungrouped Cenozoic sedimentary units; granite - Gulgong Granite

Willows Clay Deposit
This kaolin occurrence consists of a grey silty clay.

Maxwells No. 3 Clay Deposit
Consists of two connected lenticular lobes of transported kaolin within a gritty clay sequence. The clay has high aluminium content, contaminants are generally low although heavy ironstaining is common near the margins of the deposit.

Maxwells No. 5 Clay Deposit
Consists of shallowly burried (3.6-5.0 m) reworked clays. Minor ironstaining is present as limonite fissures, however the iron content is below 1 %. Sand content is minimal and the clay has a high aluminium content (Al2O3 = 31.2 - 33.6 %).
