Well attested

Mine Hill is the outcrop that gave away the Franklin zinc orebody in the first place.

Minehillite was described in 1984 from Mine Hill at Franklin in Sussex County, New Jersey, where the zinc and manganese orebody broke the surface and gave the deposit away. Mine Hill Township, an unrelated municipality in Morris County, is a common mix-up. Franklin and neighboring Sterling Hill together remain the richest single mineral locality in North America.
