  • Prospecting Guide Information Introduction Do You Need a Permit
    Prospecting Guide Information Introduction Prospecting typically involves the use of metal detectors, hand tools, pans or sluices in the search for gold, gemstones and other minerals. Prospecting can be an exciting experience. Many of the world’s largest gold nuggets have been found in the Golden Triangle of central Victoria. Elsewhere, gemstone fossickers have found sapphires, zeolites and agate. This leaflet, prepared by Parks Victoria, the Prospectors and Miners Association of Victoria (PMAV), Department of Primary Industries (DPI), Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and the Victorian Gem Clubs Association (VGCA), is designed to help you enjoy this experience while protecting the natural environment and our cultural heritage. Do you need a permit to prospect? Yes, it is called a Miner’s Right. A Miner’s Right is a permit for prospecting in Victoria and must be carried at all times while you are prospecting. The only exception is if you are part of an organised group prospecting under the authority of a valid Tourist Fossicking Authority. The Mineral Resources Development Act 1990 sets out the rights and obligations of the holder of a Miner’s Right. Important points of the Act include that you must not: • Enter onto private property without the permission of the landowner. • Prospect on a current Mining Licence without the permission of the licence holder. • Use any equipment for excavation on the land, other than hand tools. • Use explosives. • Remove or damage any shrubs or trees. • Disturb, destroy, interfere with or endanger an archaeological site or Aboriginal place or object. In addition: • You must repair any damage to the land arising out of the search.

  • Question Consequ Iassedi Ciaerro Doles Ex Et Velecteturit Aut Laccab Invelectem Quis Denis Vellit Re Volut Fugit Laciiscienis Al
    Question: What is recreational prospecting? The term ‘recreational prospecting’ (also known as ‘recreational fossicking’) refers to the search for minerals using no equipment for excavation other than non-mechanical hand tools, under a Miner’s Right or Tourist Fossicking Authority. The most common method involves the use of metal detectors, picks and shovels. Some prospectors use gold pans and sluice boxes to search for minerals, and shovels or picks for excavation of soil. Gold is the mineral commonly sought, but some prospectors search for gemstones. Question: How is recreational prospecting managed in Victoria? The Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 is the legislation under which recreational prospecting is managed in Victoria. The Department of Primary Industries is responsible for management of the activity. Where prospecting is permitted in national, state or other parks, the applicable legislation is the National Parks Act 1975. Parks Victoria is responsible for management of these parks. Question: What permits are required by recreational prospectors? All prospectors must have a Miner’s Right, which is a permit to prospect for minerals on Crown land and private land (with owner’s permission), and to own any minerals found. Organised groups may operate under a Tourist Fossicking Authority that applies to the entire group. Holders of a Miner’s Right must observe certain conditions: they must use non- mechanical hand tools only for the purpose of excavation; they must not use explosives; they must not remove or damage any shrubs or trees, nor disturb, or remove any heritage feature or destroy, interfere with or endanger an archaeological site or Aboriginal place or object.
