The principal deposit is situated in Portion 47, Parish of Kempfield, County of Georgiana, four miles west-northwest of Trunkey in a direct line and about seven miles by road, which is mostly fairly rough and hilly. The Sugarloaf deposit is 1.5 miles south of the main workings and other lesser occurrences are known in the area. The main deposits and the Sugarloaf area were examined on April 27th, 1943, in the company of Mr. F. Canavan of this Branch, and Mr. Henry, who works the main quarry on behalf of W.T. Harris. The accompanying plan, Plate 1, is the result of a compass, clinometer and tape survey. Plate 2, is a geological plan of the locality taken from a map prepared by H.G. Raggatt to accompany a report to the New South Wales Mines Department on the Trunkey-Tuena Goldfield.
