Australian Gold Locations

[bert]

O.K as a new member of this forum I was surprised to find very few post on where to look before you go and find.
(aka researching) For e.g this category alluvialgprospectors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gemmaps has some of the fewest post I've come across, now don't get me wrong as far as forums go it is A+ in my book the guys & gals on this forum are very good at teaching you how to get the yellow stuff out of the dirt, water, rock ect... A few people have mentioned google earth over the YEARS of posting
and DIGS only on one visit that I have found any thing good there. But if you are still reading this post I have one of the best links ever to "Australian Mines Atlas" not just mines but also mineral deposits Don't plan your next trip without clicking here first www.australianminesatlas.gov.au/?site=atlas
P.S very easy to use click on the right to open a folder e.g mineral deposit then choose your mineral of choice mmmm lets say gold! then narrow you field of search by clicking on the map you can also view your location of interest in the ever help full Google earth by clicking the blue earth button on top of the map.
Enjoy,
bert.

Thanks Bert I have just spent a very profitable hour using this, it has opened quite a few possible sites that I did not know existed.

Hi Bert,

The Australian Mines Atlas was posted on this site in March 2009 in the On-Line Info folder:

alluvialgprospectors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=onlineinfo&action=display&thread=883

It's a great site and extremely useful for research.

Thanks for bringing the site back to the forefront.

Cheers

A lot of places not on there either but still a handy site, a bit slow though

Hi People.

Here is another great site to checkout for NSW prospectors.
It doesn't give exact mineral locations but does show Crown land, exploration leases, mining leases, land subject to Aboriginal Land claims, and lots of other stuff.
www.minerals.nsw.gov.au/tasmap/

Thanks Jeff, been looking for something to show me where Crown land is, a very useful tool.

While the australianminesatlas is very useful, here is one that has much more detail and many more layers. new.dpi.vic.gov.au/earth-resources/exploration-and-mining/tools-and-resources/geovic

Click on the one that is relevant to you ( I use geovic version 2)

For those using oziexoplorer remember that any of the information viewed can be downloaded and used as an overlay on your maps (ESRI shape files)

Cheers

Excellent Pol.
Looks just like the Victorian version of TasMap. Very detailed and easy to use. Thanks for the post.
