[QUOTE="Graybeard, post: 373215, member: 11193"] Thank you guys for your input. I have read all your comments and totally agree with you. I was actually thinking of taking up a busload of hopefuls up to the mine, charge x amount of dollars. It did not even contemplate the insurance and liability factor. Thanks ballarat-gold. Guess that's off the list now. Well it isn't my problem, I guess my mate is going to lose the lot. Damn pity. The lease is about 90 Ha and has no machinery, just a hole in the ground. A lot of bore holes have been sunk and it would be a profitable site. It's called the [u]Parnell mine[/u]. It was famous in it's days. The early prospectors took the "easy" gold and what is left is hard rock gold. One spot near the entrance produces about one ounce of gold per ton of rock. I will be going to that place next autumn. I'm not interested in hard rock mining. However, going by the satellite imaginary there are hundreds of dried up winter creeks everywhere and there is plenty of alluvial gold. Western Australia is the last frontier for sure. If the old timers that invaded Ballarat had gone there, I'm sure the heat and the desolation would have killed them for sure. That's why there is still plenty of gold out there for us guys. It's still NOT an easy feat to simply drive there [/QUOTE]
