The Acacia South occurrence is located on the south side of a ridge separating Laluwissen and McGillivray creeks, at an elevation of approximately 1500 metres.

Locally, chalcopyrite, magnetite and malachite are hosted in feldspar porphyry. A picked sample assayed 12.7 grams per tonne silver and 7.16 per cent copper (Property File - D.C. Malcolm [1972-07-31]: Report on Acacia Mineral Development).
