New South Wales Gold Occurrences
Recorded gold occurrences across New South Wales, alluvial and lode.
What it shows
Recorded gold occurrences across New South Wales, from the Geological Survey of NSW mineral-occurrence dataset, filtered to the gold sites. Each point is a place gold has been recorded, from operating and abandoned mines to prospects. Tap a point for its name, commodity, and deposit type, which separates the alluvial and deep-lead ground from the lode classes. That split is handy for matching a spot to how you detect. Filter by what was done to the ground as well: alluvial, dumps, surface workings, open cuts, underground and drilling. These are historical records, not a promise of gold in the ground today, but they map where gold has been found before. Check the land-access rules before you detect.
