If you're in Victoria, note that you can't get a prospecting licence (which allows for the sort of small scale mining you're talking about) over an area that already has an exploration licence (or application) or mining licence on it. So you need to check if where you're currently prospecting (I know, same word used for different things) has an EL on it. There's a good chance it does if you're in good prospective country. Trust me. I work for an exploration company.

GeoVic is your friend - add the current exploration and mining licence layers to your area of interest.

Or... wink wink, you can tell me where it is and I pinky promise not to slap a huge EL over your area on behalf of my company. Actually I can't promise that. I probably would hahaha
