It starts maybe 100m before the ford but is really overgrown at the start, you may not find it. If you go up deadhorse there is a small trickle of a side stream that comes in from the left a few 100m up the creek. Go up this for a about a minute and there will be a big clearing on your left. The mine is just in the bush at the top of the clearing. Might be easier to show u haha. And no I havt been in it. I sent this as a PM to Jd but thought id copy paste it here too, might help someone else out.
