After years of prospecting and months of research, I set out to explore a field that, on paper, wasn’t particularly exciting. It had only a brief and poorly documented alluvial gold rush in the 1800s, and since then, it’s been largely ignored. No recorded mines, no registered workings, and barely a mention in geological reports. I wasn’t expecting much—just a bit of reconnaissance and a few hopeful pans. But what I found changed everything.

This video documents a full, in-the-field hard rock gold discovery—one that began with a single anticline and quickly evolved into the confirmation of multiple gold-bearing structures. Through persistent fieldwork, geological mapping, rock sampling, and crushing, I discovered that this area hosts not just isolated mineralised zones, but a structurally controlled system of anticlines, synclines, and quartz veining that consistently yield visible gold. That kind of structural repetition and continuity is rare—and the consistency of gold content is even rarer.

One of the most surprising finds was that even the syncline, typically less prospective in terms of fluid flow and veining, held gold-bearing quartz. I crushed samples from several locations and regularly recovered 100–200 visible fine gold particles from just coin-sized chips of rock. I even found float quartz with visible gold that led me to the edge of a steep hill. After multiple scouting trips and test crushes, I identified not just one source vein—but a line of reef. These veins follow a clear structural trend, forming what is likely a saddle reef system within folded sedimentary layers.

Saddle reef deposits are historically significant in Australia’s gold mining history, particularly in regions like Bendigo and Ballarat. These types of deposits occur in the hinges of folded rock, such as anticlines, where hydrothermal fluids concentrate and deposit gold within quartz veins. The presence of arsenopyrite and other sulfides in this field further supports the interpretation of a reduced intrusion-related gold system (IRGS)—a model known for producing large-scale, high-grade gold deposits with strong structural control and zoned mineralisation.

The discovery of a linear reef system with multiple gold-bearing outcrops is not just exciting—it’s game-changing. This is not a patchy alluvial field or a scattered nugget area. This is hard rock gold locked in structure, with evidence of sustained mineralisation and high grades across multiple locations. The geology here tells a story of intense folding, fluid movement, and gold deposition in well-defined corridors. With the arrival of my crusher, I’ll be transitioning into small-scale processing and conducting ongoing recovery trials, including leaching, roasting, and bioleaching to target refractory gold held in arsenopyrite.

This field may have been missed during the original gold rush, but its potential is only just beginning to be understood. With multiple confirmed sources, a repeatable geological model, and highly promising early recovery results, this is a discovery worth watching. Subscribe to follow the journey as I map the reef, develop the site, and work toward building a small-scale hard rock gold operation right here in the Australian bush.
