The McIntosh Project is named after the McIntosh Hills which run through the area. It is approximately 70 kilometres north of Halls Creek, 20 kilometres north of the Alice Downs Homestead, and 10 kilometres east of the Great Northern Highway. Inferred resources of graphite is 7.135 MT grading at 4.73 TGC, with a strike of 400 metres and depth of 200 metres.
There are a number of prospects in the area.
The prospects extend over both the Alice Downs Station and Mabel Downs Station.
Graphitic schist is hosted by high grade metamorphic rocks within the Tickalara Metamorphic Suite that extends 130 kilometres along the western flank of the Halls Creek Fault. The material forms clumps of coarse flake graphite in graphite-pyrrhotite sedimentary horizons.
The graphite prospects cover an extensive north north-east to south south-west area, and the Mindat co-ordinates is an approximation of the centre of these.
