Company had given the reefs a good test, expending at least £10,000. A total of about 2,000 tons of quartz had been processed and although some patches contained up to 3.5 oz/t gold, the average grade was only 0.5 oz/t. Following this unsuccessful period of renewed activity the Junee Reefs were largely abandoned.
