[QUOTE="kawman, post: 83334, member: 917"] Some good info in that.. unfortunately most of those areas are off limits to fossicking.. I was lucky enough to stumble upon the mining geology report that was published by the mining mob that has now shut shop... it has 34 known sapphire bearing locations with coordinates mentioned in it... next spring we will give the area a good going over.. about 20 locations are in the allowed fossicking area. most stones found by guys so far have been small but we will give it a go anyway.. must be a good sized one someplace up there.. there is also 2 old gold mines in the area that are marked on the forestry fossicking area map. I believe that the sapphire mine was only getting one good cutter to the tonne of wash...very far and few between and not viable. :) [/QUOTE]
