Production was 125 tonnes in 1987 from 2 open cuts. Barite formed in steep fracture zones which cut the bedding of the enclosed siltstone and carbonate rocks of the Wonoka Formation. The white coarsely crystalline barite is iron rich, siliceous and calcareous in part. It is suitable for oil drilling. Selective mining is required to produce low grade industrial barite. Indicated reserves total 2250 tonnes to 5 - 10 metres + 2400 tonnes below this.
