History

Mikhaburra  or Holdens Find, 6 kilometres north-west of the Cashman Mine, produced 7300 ounces of gold.

It was discovered by Alfred Holden in September 1913. Prospectors from nearby Cashman Mine and Ruby Well rushed to the scene that would become known as Holdens Reef.

Holdens Well is four kilometres WNW of the mine.
