The mountain stretches along the western border of Malolotja for about 10 kms. Here can be seen the ancient Lion Cavern as well as the modern open cast mine. Tin Mining There is slight evidence that some tin mining has taken place in the reserve. Two miles west of the granite contact which occurs at the Forbes Main reef and one mile west of the gold deposits, two interesting occurrences of casserite have been noted. A small amount of trenching and investigation has been carried out although no records on them can be found.
Local people living in the area also speak of the old tin mines.
