Join us on a fascinating geological exploration as we unearth an ancient volcanic arc hidden in the ocean near Tasmania and the associated mineralization. In this episode I follow up on my claim that gold would be found here as a result of my intensive studying of the geology and geophysical features of the King Island.

In this compilation, we start our journey off with the discovery of a volcanic arc that underlies King Island. We used magnetics to reveal the islands' secrets between Tasmania and Victoria, shedding light on Australia's underexplored geological wonders. We journeyed back to the birth of the Microcontinent VanDieLand, explored the complex geological history of King Island, and formulated hypotheses about recent rift zones. This exploration underscored the immense tectonic and volcanic forces that have shaped our planet and the potential for new discoveries in underexplored lands. After this, we found that a previous speculation of mine turned out to indeed be accurate. I postulated that it was undoubtable that gold existed on King Island, based on the previous tectonic collisions that had occurred here. When a subscriber of mine sent me a relatively hidden article in the Trove Archives, documenting a find made by a young boy on the Island in 1872. After this, I go into the fascinating subject of shadow volcanoes and how it relates to King Island, and the mineral deposits there. So sit back, and enjoy this fascinating geological ride!
