[QUOTE="Goldpick, post: 195353, member: 1695"] I used to work at that Old Pirate prospect back in the 90's (and just about everywhere else in the Tanami for that matter). It was quite exciting to find gold bearing quartz veins outcropping at the surface out the middle of woop woop, though despite high grades, was never considered to be a major deposit for a larger miner. There have been some good finds on the western side of the WA border heading deeper into the desert, so only a matter of time before something major is found on the NT side. Probably not much scope for the individual to explore such areas. Most of the ground is covered by Aboriginal Freehold land, not to mention the costs/logistics of doing so, and the fact that most of the ground is under deep cover. [/QUOTE]
