Victoria Gold Occurrences
Recorded gold mines and prospects across Victoria, the richest gold state.
What it shows
Recorded gold occurrences across Victoria, from the state mine-site dataset, filtered to gold sites. Victoria's goldfields are among the most densely recorded in the country, so this is a thick map of past finds. Each point is a place gold has been recorded, as a mine, prospect or occurrence. Tap a point for its name, commodity, deposit style, status and size, and filter by what was done to the ground: sluiced and dredged alluvial, open cuts, and shafts, adits and declines. These are historical records, not a promise of gold in the ground today, but they map where gold has been found before. Use them to scout the old workings, then check the land-access rules before you detect.
Putting this on your map
