10 Places To Find Gold In Tasmania (Solved)
Mathinna: The Mathinna goldfield was once the richest gold mining area in Tasmania. The field was discovered in 1871, and the township quickly became the state's third largest. The area, known for its alluvial gold, was mined until the early 20th century and continues to produce gold to this day, with prospectors often finding smaller nuggets and gold flakes.

About this title
Gold occurs in many settings, but the dynamic nature of Earth's crust means overlapping and over deposit styles are common. Characterization of mineralization from an early stage becomes important, particularly where the mineralization is complex, in order to maximize exploration and project development success and mining productivity.
