[QUOTE="Conan, post: 434812, member: 3987"] Its interesting that the sign posted fossicking area at Sapphire Bend is about .5sq kilometer in size, but the actual area that sapphires are being found in the Vulcan is at least 3.5sq kilometres. And probably more. The previous mining leases were small in comparison to the area and test holes limited so based on this there must be a lot of virgin ground that has been missed. The problem is finding it. It all makes for a great adventure to find them. It's a pity the Black Springs shop has closed as this was a great supplies base and their burgers were very tasty. I'll be back out there hopefully in a few weeks so will take more photo's and post my findings. :Y: [/QUOTE]
