    Detecting on private property

    It appears the general consensus is people are willing to offer something for access to private land, and that's a good thing, we all know that the minerals we prospect belong to the crown by law but we still had to dig through the top 12-18 inches of it that don't belong to the crown to get to...

    Detecting on private property

    Personally: 50/50 (prospecting) will open more gates than 10%, 10% is more towards 'lease' (mass production) where expenses have to be covered before shares can be divided up, 50/50 offer has opened up some nice areas for myself over the years, an offer like that shows honesty and respect...

    Back were I belong.

    Spent 8months living out of the Alamo Motel in Nyngan last year while I was working at the mine at Hermidale, saw more 'bogans' than a life time re-runs of 'Kingswood Country', sheeesh!, and the bloody trains going past at all hours of the night, that wouldn't of been you would it RJ :mad...

    The Play in the Fields

    The Relampago rocks ever so gently in the still partially lit night, a gentle breeze moves the Crimson hair of Abigail as she and Hoist embrace. Hoist stops kissing Abigail for a moment, "What if your father was to learn of our romance?" Asks Hoist "Then he would be proud to know that his...

    Small scale mining

    :cool: mate, that 2nd shaft is a win win once it goes in, it makes life a lot easier for vent and secondary means of egress, once you have your black ticket try 'Jonnex's' Econotrim or Easycharge, I've used it before in puggy soft ground and sandstone bedrocks, firing your perimeter holes in one...

    Small scale mining

    G'day ILikeGold, mate could I ask how your taking 'cuts' or advancing in your drive, wether your drill and blast or jackhammer or other.... :) How do you go with ventilation, I found that once I have gotten past 8-10 meters down a shaft my breathing alone whilst heavy digging was enough to...

    Small scale mining

    Good question mate, I've never thought to ask him, I only assumed his insurance was like any other underground mine in Australia, I remember him whinging about public liability insurance and the costs but that's about it other than that I'm in the dark on this one, You don't really get tickets...

    Small scale mining

    Yep, got a good mate cracking away as we speak he's been at awhile now, from what I remember when he did his licensing it was quite easy and painless compared to what else i have heard been spoken about, one benefit for him is its on private property, so no crown land conditions! Can't help you...
