WA GOLD Geologist

Gold Mine For Sale Meekatharra region.
I am selling our gold mine near Meekatharra as too old to mine it ourselves. There is a very high grade reef which can be mined from surface using excavator. 100 RC drillholes with excellent results. Currently around 10,000oz resource target. Good water onsite. We are looking for around $1million cash only wiwo so serious buyers only.

WARNING to all prospective lease owners. A geo mate has just updated me... the cost of pe***ng a 200ha lease in WA is now $900 rent, $450 Application cost, $5,000 Heritage agreement plus $5,000 per year for access and some $50,000-$120,000 for a site survey, probably about $20,000 for a baseline flora and fauna study, all before you can drill a hole! So if you want to explore, look at about $150,000 before you can strike a blow, and if the DBCA and EPA or DLPH or DWER get involved, make it 2 to 4 years!

Remember this before you get a lease!

Geologists have known for decades that gold forms in quartz with the help of earthquakes, but now they have worked out exactly how the setting and seismic waves combine to form large nuggets.

This photo was given to me around 2010 and the nugget i think went 11.3kg

Published 1935 but still useful. Unfortunately there has been no big leaps in technology for processing small miners ore.

They call me old school geo because I pan drill samples but its better than waiting a month for your assays. Theres nothing like seeing it in the dish. And dont bother with those American type pans put out by Garret or Minelab. Get a small black Thorpie. They are so much more practical. Even better than the old Lucky Strike pans which were bakerlite.
