[QUOTE="sh4ggs, post: 15057, member: 204"] Hey Gavduffy, dont know if youve headed off yet but i'm going that way late july as well and doing a bit of research the site gold-prospecting-wa.com has a page called "gold-fields", it is pretty good as they have a userguide to the tengraph system that Dept of mines uses to determine where you can dig. from what i can see - if you are going for a short time and just rock up to kal, you have 4 options for places you can explore 1. crown land, which is marked in black on the tengraph system, and unless you go a fair way out - it is less likely to have much on it, otherwise somone would have staked a claim by now 2. 'pending' permit sites that are marked in dark blue, or recently expired claims 3. applying via a section 40e to go onto someone else's site, ie tenement: but you cant start detecting for 21 days after application while dept of mines seeks objections 4. going into the office of a couple of the big mining companies and signing an agreement that usually gives them 10% of your finds, and you have to tell them where you got them - this gets around the 21 days problem if you havent applied in advance - the two main players are paddington and barrick from what i've heard i'm going to try a bit of a mix of these.
