Description
The entrance to this adit is almost blocked with only a small aperture which is currently just too small to get through. Access will require a small dig.

Nothing is known except that other mines in the area were lead mines and it is assumed that this is also a lead mine or trial adit.

It is in very close proximity to Belgrave mine.

None of this adit/mine has been explored.
