AU PROSPECTING OVERVIEW

Australia is as close to gold-prospecting heaven as it gets. From the rich alluvial gullies of Victoria's Golden Triangle to the vast desert fields of Western Australia, the continent offers serious opportunities for anyone with a pan and a bit of patience. Our state guides link the official records systems — VIC Resources Victoria, QLD Resources, WA TENGRAPH, NSW MinView — so you can check land status and find exempted rivers before you head out.

This is a rough calculator — purity, refinery fees, and market spread all affect what you actually get. Check current spot prices before selling.

Common Questions

Straight answers about maps, access checks, gear, and paid guides.

Laws vary by country. In most western nations (USA, AU, NZ), public pans/sluicing are legal in designated areas. Always check local BLM, NZPAM, or local mining registrar data.
Paystreak uses public-source research prompts, maps, and field-planning context. Treat every access, claim, permit and closure detail as something to verify with the current official source before travelling.
Pro and paid-guide buyers get deeper planning material: printable PDFs, map-research prompts, access-check workflows, gear lists, and offline field-note templates.
The site works on mobile, but serious users should save or print key notes before leaving reception. Paid packs are designed for offline trip planning.
Locations are research starting points, not guarantees. Cross-check current access, land status, local rules, weather, water level, and safety before prospecting.
