Spent most of the day in Kilkivan and scored permission on a property; adjacent to one of the mine leases.

The owner told me that all land-owners received letters from the Qld. 'govt' (God help us!) which informed the said owners that all gold rights now belong to the Parliament. He said also, 'So keep your mouth shut if you find anything'.

Are any of the Gentle Readers aware of this bit of gangland crap?

I took the time to look at Snake Gully Rd., and the offerings that may be there. It's very interesting country.

Also went up West Coast Rd., and checked out the creek that runs along side it...ah, yes, West Coast Creek, sorry about that. It looks as thought there could be some opportunities there also. A lot of crevicing!

The Copper Mine Creek has some tributaries that have running water and went up quite a way into one of them and see that there is a lot gravel that shows serious promise. Ha! Promises, promises!

Anyway, I'll be there most days now as it's only a 40 minute drive. I will report in should there be any succuss. Oh, and there is the very famous Fat Hen Creek. I've got six months work in front of me.

It's really interesting how all the pine trees are growing all along the old diggings there because of the Chinese diggers who used to eat a lot of pine nuts.

And I thought this was supposed to be a retirement hobby. Well...as a chap told me recently, that since he retired, he's been so busy he couldn't understand how he ever had time to work!

Hi,
I am keen to got to Mt Boo Boo at Kilkivan but I am concerned about Private property and mining leases and can't figure it out on Trilobyte, it looks like it is all private property, can we go on the mountain?

 

[PeteS]

I’ve found Trilobite shows good boundary detail in WA but not much elsewhere.
In NSW I use MinVew. It takes a while to get used to as you have to select various layer options to see leases etc. Here is a Minview link with with most layers switched on: https://minview.geoscience.nsw.gov....100,ad6:y:100,ad61:y:100,mg99:y:100,mg0:y:100

A detailed map of the Kilkivan area is attached. The flags are mineral indications, however I’m not aware what can be legally accessed.

Hi All,

I have started doing some research on Kilkivan which is near Gympie in Queensland. I found a really interesting forum which had old posts
from the owner of a local store near Kilkivan. The owner was moving back to Western Australia and basically said there is heaps of gold in the Kilkivan area and gave away a few hints. He mentioned that gold could be found:

Along the first 3km of West Coast Road - including an area called Italian Gully (I found a newspaper article on Italian Gully from the 1800's where a Gold reef was found).

He goes on to say that there is more gold on the low lying country around Mt Booboo (I have no idea how to get there) and
that there is gold in the foothills from the 'rosemore turnoff to the cemetary' - he uses the road 'rosemore' a lot in his posting but I can't find such a road anywhere...
however there is 'Rossmore Rd' which intersects with West Coast Road.

I went for a drive and I found an area that was littered with mineralised quartz and ironstone - by the time I found it I only got a couple of hours there and
it was littered with bits of metal (Grr)...

As of yet I have never personally found any gold - I don't want much, a 0.1gram would be great lol.

I was wondering if there is anyone that either lives up that way or has prospected up that way that could add to my research of the area?

Thanks.

Luke.

Sorry fellas, mount boo boo is on private land, a friend of the family owns it, even I can’t get out there for a dig or detect. There are also quite a lot of dangerous people out that way, so I’d be weary wandering up to people’s property to ask for permission.

There are a lot of unsafe tunnels and shafts out that way as well, if you fall down some of the seriously deep ones, no one will find you.

Hello all,

Does anybody have information on historic mine sites in this region that I can explore?, any that are not on private property? - I dont want to detect, just take a look. Thanks.

I don't know much about the rules in Queensland but my Dad used to tell us you could legally go up a creek as long as you stayed in the creek because they are crown land however you need to ask the right people (Mines Dept) to be sure you know the law. That rule doesn't apply here in the west probably because nearly all of our creeks are dry most of the year. If you have a WA miners right you can legally go just about anywhere as long as you don't have mining gear such as a pick or detector. We have very little freehold land in WA.

 

[XLOOX]

You can go down Blacksnake Rd and drive by the old and newer Shamrock workings, pit pool etc but pretty obviously you cant go into fenced areas.
