✅ Why explorers are interested in Blue Mountain
The combination of:
historic workings
coarse gold
multiple gold-bearing creeks
large volumes of gravel
suggests there could be a bigger source still to be located.
💡 Interestingly, some of Australia’s biggest goldfields started exactly like this:
Kalgoorlie Goldfield began with alluvial gold before the huge hard-rock deposit was found.
Charters Towers Goldfield followed the same pattern.
