Tectonics and implications for gold prospectivity in Victoria
Victoria’s rich orogenic gold endowment has helped make the State what it is today. But much of its potential is yet to be discovered, with historic goldfields mainly found through surface geochemistry (panning), where mineralised levels are serendipitously exposed. Even the most superficial data supports this belief. Of the all-time ~190,000 tonnes of gold mined,…
