Prospects sites (NSW)

[Bradcox]

Hello
I was wondering if anyone had any info on prospects sites, I have a permit and it’s in the zone but this website shows really old mines and everything but doesn’t tell you if you can dig there or what kind of property it is, it’s just a open area with fire roads all around
Any info appreciated

Why would you even want to dig on a barite prospect?

What permit do you have?
I'm assuming you have a NSW State Forest Fossicking Permit which only covers NSW State Forest areas & nowhere else.
The prospect you've shown is on private property so even if it was worthwhile looking at you'd need their permission.

Have a read of the NSW rules here: https://www.prospectingaustralia.co...ecting-regulations-all-australian-states.125/

Thank you
Sometimes it’s hard to figure out with just open land and fire trails

Barite is an industrial mineral, many uses like being added to the mud in drilling rigs to increase mud weight and prevent blowouts. It is not particularly valuable and really not much use prospecting for.
If you are going to use MinDat, look for Au (gold) occurrences, not much use looking for a mineral that is sold by the truckload.
Best of luck and happy hunting.

If your wanted to give panning for Gold a try , you could go to Tuena or Adelong.. both are about a 2 hour drive from Royalla

When on crown land you need a permit for every seperate lot you are on eg sofala you need a permit for every different lot you are on a 12 month tempory permit is free from a crowns lands office, once you cross river at greenpoint on eastern side it is then run by bathurst council and you need the land owners permission only

I just got myself a pan kit, I think it’s gonna be the best to start off fossicking for around here, I’m looking at that area and shoalhaven, just so much info don’t know where to start
