FIRST DISCOVERY
Gold was believed to have been discovered on the apple isle at Nine Mile Springs (called "The Den", later named Lefroy 1881) in northern Tasmania (NE) in 1840 by a convict. Then it is said that John Gardner found gold-bearing quartz in 1847 on Blythe Creek, near Beaconsfield. But the first substantiated find was made by a Mr Riva in that area in 1849. Gold was first found at Tullochgorum (see Nook below) near Fingal in north eastern Tasmania in 1851 by the "Old Major" who quietly worked the gully for several years. A Major's Gully exists at Mangana.
Officially, the first payable alluvial deposits were reported in 1852 by James Grant at the Nook (NE) (later called Mangana) and Tower Hill Creek (NE). (Debate ensues as to whether Mangana, the Nook and Tullochgoram were one and the same place.) Note though that the first registered gold strike was made by Charles Gould. It was located at Tullochgoram (E) near Fingal, south of St. Marys and weighed 2lb 6ozs.
In 1854 gold came to light at Mt. Mary (SE).
Tasmania's first reef gold mine was opened by James Grant in 1856 at the Nook (N). The discovery attracted 500 new miners.
The first payable reef gold was found at Mangana (NE) and Mathinna in 1858.
In 1859 a new discovery was made by James Smith who came upon it at River Forth (N), and Peter Leete struck it at Calder nor-north western Tasmania (NNW) a tributary of the Inglis.
In 1862 geologist Charles Gould located small quantities of gold in the King and Franklin Rivers (W) near Macquarie Harbour, and on the Acheron River a tributary of the Jane River.
Charles Gould obtained gold from Lyndhurst (Waterhouse) (NE) in 1864 and 1869.
THE RUSH
At Specimen Hill, Nine Mile Springs (Lefroy) the first alluvial gold was discovered by Samuel Richards in the year I869 (reef gold was actually identified in 1867). Production was mainly restricted to the Native Youth, Chum, Volunteer and New Pinafore Reef mines. The news of this brought the first big rush to Nine Mile Springs. A township quickly developed beside the present main road from Bell Bay to Bridport, and dozens of miners pegged out claims there and at nearby Back Creek. Samuel Richards's Specimen Hill find was alluvial gold. However most of the gold in the Nine Mile Springs area was bonded to quartz below the surface. Consequently, companies moved in to crush the ore. Lefroy Goldfield became the first profitable goldfield.
Gold was initially found at Cabbage Tree Hill (N) in 1870, (later renamed Brandy Creek which became Beaconsfield in 1879) .
The Denison and Golconda (SW) alluvial deposits were not discovered until 1872, and the reefs were not opened up until 1876 and 1877 respectively. Charles Bessel and company also found gold at Tobacco Creek near Golconda Creek in 1877.

It will give you goose bumps to the gold mines in Tasmanis...the whole f/...ckin island's full of gold. Just sling a stone and start drilling where it lands. L!L
Agreed Apple. GGP are becoming spoilt for choice on prioritising exploration spend in 2020. A lovely problem to have!
Proves peeps don't read RNS' properly. I actually made a whole lot of noise last werk about Firetower moving up the value curve. No one seems interested but they should it could be massive. HAV is not the only Potential???
Google "Gold rush Tasnania"
Excellent. The coverage is starting to happen. I hope today is like yesterday. (No work done whatsoever). Have a good guys.
NIce fine!
