Underground mine.

The Scuddles mine is 4 kilometres north west of the Gossan Hill mine.

The mineralised horizon is 80 metres thick. The upper part of this is a laminated magnetite bearing iron formation, enriched with Fe, Mn, and base metals, overlying several Fe-Zn lenses of massive sulphides grading downwards into pyritic sulphide. The massive sulphides in places show Pb, Ag, Au and Cu.

Under this is a zone of epigenetic stockwork, stringers and disseminated Cu-Fe. Massive and disseminated sulphides may be accompanied by quartz, chlorite, talc and other silicates, carbonates and magnetite.

The ore deposit is 600 metres long and up to 50 metres thick. It occurs as two steeply west dipping lenses of massive sulphide. These show as massive sphalerite at the top, then massive pyrite with sphalerite and minor chalcopyrite and finally Cu rich massive sulphides.

The footwall contains an area of massive sulphide as pyrite-chalcopyrite stockwork with silicification and chlorite alteration. Around the deposit is a halo of sericite, quartz, chlorite and carbonates.
