[QUOTE="Hunting the yellow, post: 135748, member: 68"] something has got me thinking if we didn't have prospectors and small scale miners then it would be hard for the big mining companys to find possible gold targets and without small scale miners or prospectors most big mining companys would waste $1000s on exploration and some wouldn't even bother because they wouldn't know what the ground was like if it was covered over by 1 to 2 meters of top soil and what wasn't economical to the average small scale miner would be economical to the big scale miners but without the small scale miner finding it or putting in the time and effort to test areas for gold you may not have any big low grade open cut mines to follow it seams in Victoria small scale miners are slowly dieing out i my self go to lots of areas in victoria and do a lot of sampling work in old mines and on undug ground for gold and other minerals and some small scale mining if i find a high grade ore deposit [/QUOTE]
