Gold prospecting resources

Gold prospecting resources

Hey guys! I know when you first start out in the prospecting world and everyone is telling you to try Tengraph, or look at historical workings or find a lease on SARIG it can be overwhelming. I have put together a short list for every state of the basic resources that will come in handy on your prospecting journey. I have included the Mines Department, tenement mapping, mining/exploration/geology reports, miners rights links, permit information and any links that are useful in research. I will update to this list as time goes on but if you have any suggestions please let me know! I eventually want this to become a directory or resources.

There is also an American section but there is a lot of work to be done on that part so keep your eyes posted for updates!

Mineral exploration open-file (public) reports are stored in the Western Australian Mineral WAMEX database. Access is free of charge, and copies of the reports are available for download.
