The Goldfinch claim is centred at an elevation of 914 metres, 0.7 kilometre east of the post office at Greenwood. Access to the claim is from the 'E.P.U.' claim (082ESE006) which lies immediately to the east and a spur road on the west which branches from the Lind Valley road.
Intermittent production from Goldfinch from 1902 to 1944 was 299 tonnes of ore, resulting in 18 kilograms of gold, 88 kilograms of silver, 8 tonnes of lead and 2 tonnes of zinc.
Mining began on the Goldfinch claim in 1902 and by 1903 the workings consisted of a shaft 30 metres deep and about 30 metres of drifting plus some stope development. Target of these operations was a quartz vein in the east margin of the Jurassic-Cretaceous Greenwood granodiorite stock. This activity continued for several more years then lay dormant. In 1940 the property was reactivated with the installation of a small mining plant. Development work in 1943 and 1944 included 634 metres of open-cutting, 38 metres of drifting in the main tunnel and some raising. Small tonnages of ore were obtained in 1940, 1941 and 1944 prior to final closing of the mine.
No ore reserves have been reported.
