The Glenray area apparently some mining company has opened up a new gold site there `i` think on the Eastern side of the range.
Strange though that area is mostly sandstone but running down to Nana Glen it changes to The Green Basalt.
In talking with a Geo about that area his comment was that that fault or fold lines was about 10 million years old where as The Golden Triangle area is around 30 million years old.
He seemed to say that Gold in that area was small flake stuff unlike your retirement nuggets in Vic.
My comment was maybe the land around Coffs has not had enough time to Erode as such to expose The Big Ones.
Have not heard about any Foot Ball size nuggets in that area Mr Loan Wolf but i guess not everyone plays Show & Tell.
Most Mines from the info i`ve come across there are underground mines only a few i believe were open cut.
Plenty of Alluvial Placer spots available & not surprising with all the winding creeks & rivers.
Something else; you need to be built like a stick monster to squeeze through all the scrub & vines in that rain-forest region.
It`s not easy trying to maneuver a detector either & easily could cause damage to your machine.
It`s a Jungle Out There.

[QUOTE="Bush, post: 415963, member: 6815"] The Glenray area apparently some mining company has opened up a new gold site there `i` think on the Eastern side of the range. Strange though that area is mostly sandstone but running down to Nana Glen it changes to The Green Basalt. In talking with a Geo about that area his comment was that that fault or fold lines was about 10 million years old where as The Golden Triangle area is around 30 million years old.
