Queensland Gold Productivity
Where Queensland's recorded gold clusters most, as a heat map.
What it shows
A heat map built from the Geological Survey of Queensland's gold-occurrence points (MINOCC). It colours the ground by how densely recorded gold clusters, and each point counts for more the more significant it is, so a working mine weighs heavier than a bare occurrence. The density is sorted into six bands, and the brightest cores are the worked districts, like Charters Towers, Gympie and the Palmer, where gold has been found again and again. Read it to spot productive ground, then turn on the gold-occurrence points to see the individual finds. This is a guide to where gold has been recorded, not a promise of gold today.
Putting this on your map
Taking a layer from the Library onto a stack, and tuning how it draws, is a short guided tour on your own map.
