    starting up /remining a old mine

    Not having a go you guys I'm just putting the info out there. But just so you know or for anyone else that's interested in applying for a Prospectors Licence, you need to have a EL or RL before you can even apply for a PL. Your right that you don't need a EL if you apply directly for a ML though.

    Qld - chances of mining claim on land with a EP application pending?

    I'm not sure about QLD but in WA you can prospect a EP that is under application, there are quite a few prospectors in WA that follow when new EP's are lodged then head out and detect it before the application is granted. Obviously mining it would be another story. edit: just noticed how old...

    starting up /remining a old mine

    Fantastic find guys! Don't you need to hold an Exploration Licence or Retention Licence to get a Prospecting Licence (not miners right) or Mining Licence, I'm pretty sure you also need a work program, financial & technical evidence to get an EL. Once you have the EL you have to go through the...

    Garrett ATX gold finds

    Yeah I have a mate in WA that does it with his brother and another mate that does the same in NT with a couple of other share holders but none of them have that level of equipment and they both use trommel and sluice set up so they get everything, like a small scale mining company.

    Snake Valley, Smythesdale, Happy Valley, Linton, Skipton areas information and questions

    There are lots of unmarked/undocumented areas around snake valley township in public land that have been worked by old timers as well. Unfortunately there is also a lot of brush and gorse coverage in these areas too. Just a little more info on Snake valley from one of the historical society...

    Garrett ATX gold finds

    I'll take a guess here and say they were pushing to prep the site for mine construction, he must be a mate of the GM or land holder. No one takes or hires that much equipment to flail a garrett over the ground. Don't get me wrong I'd take 2 KGS anyday!

    Advice on a pinpointer

    Will any ol' pinpointer do ? The price range is quite broad from $30 - $140. The minelab being on the expensive end but is it worth it? After all to my knowledge you only use them to find exact location once you've done a bit of digging already. I seem to spend more time searching the hole and...

    Big hole outrage?

    I'd be asking if these other prospectors are getting any colour if they don't dig holes ?

    Petrol Water Pumps

    Onga sell a Mini Fire fighter, completely useless for fighting fires but very light and cost around $165. The bonus here is you get a Warrantee when you buy from a authorised Onga Pump Shop. So if it fries a seal and it didn't run dry you will get it repaired for free or a replacement.

    non profit clubs

    I'd start with a basic club first. A NPO requires substantially more to get started and is for all purposes a sole entity like a PTY LTD company. A club on the other hand only requires a mission statement, a committee of management (secretary, treasurer & President). If monies are required for...
