Capsule Geology

The Lead King (Lot 2071) claim is located on the lower slopes of Mount Attwood, 3 kilometres south of Greenwood. Access to the area is from Highway 3 via the Lind Valley road and an old logging road that skirts the northwest spur of Mount Attwood.

The area is underlain by limestone, greenstone and argillite of the Permian Attwood Group. Several surface cuts made in 1894 exposed a 300 by 3 metre vein carrying values in silver and lead. The claim was Crown granted in 1903 and a shipment of 304 tonnes was reported in 1904. In 1950, W. McArthur produced 7 tonnes, yielding 9020 grams of silver, 9612 kilograms of lead and 1877 kilograms of zinc.
