another way in
bit late for a reply on this one but yes ive heard of another entrance but i only know one person who knows its exact location, a local doctor in the area. from what im told its a very narrow entrance that enters the mountain under the worlds end road on a slightly different note does anyone know anything about the workings on top of the mountain a few shafts and some very accessable. one at least has had a great deal of work done to it to make it safe for exploration. strangely enough this "safe" shaft is the only one not marked on the map as soon as the weather improves i'll take some surface photo's entry into this is SRT and beyond my ability but maybe it will prompt someone else to go take a peek

Alternative way in
There is an alternative way into Minera without having to abseil Cabin Shaft, however I have been unable to locate it. Its basically a crawl through some rocks somewhere, I have been led to understand. Does anyone know anything about this?
