But at this stage me and my sluice box will stick to the public places on the coast but I will be keen to go shears on a claim in the future its all about having fun and if you make some money that's cool as well . Who ever buys the claim will have a good one I feel. That's just my 1 cents worth . Hope the gold keeps flowing for every one. Stu

I live in Queenstown and are interested in a claim within 100 km of here if possible. west coast is too far at present. I would consider a group of 1-3 others besides myself to share costs. I am keen on something that is not a large raging river - would prefer something 12 mile size. i know access can be a bitch but any claim would need actual vehicle access to at least some of it. I am willing to look at existing claims - perhaps even a part of a larger existing claim. the closer it is to me the more i will get to use it. Or i am willing to consider fresh locations. I am also in the tourism industry and have quite a few good contacts - i'm looking at utilising a claim perhaps to bring in visitors. there are people willing to pay good money that don't all want to get in a river and dredge - just have a real outing with real kiwis in the outdoors, and perhaps a little pan/sluicebox and a picnic. what it's all meant to be about. I know this may lead to further hassles but i think this is a good way to covers costs on the right claim. In terms of rules - there would be a few rules. got to keep it basic but just a few to give each party a fair share. I'm sure to attract some knockers here but if anyone is even slightly interested please PM me. Simon.

You could hire Robbie Deans to direct traffic from the main road , believe he is looking for a job . The farmer is probably right now blocking the road with his John Deere tractor , Class header and turnip sower . The original post was for half a dozen honest miners for some R and R and fun mining .

So my visits would be less often and for shorter durations than someone living closer. Although I could take a month break from work a have a good go at it from time to time. 2/ Because I can't be there all the time I would worry about claim jumpers and others abusing the privilege. Not that I begrudge fellow partners in the claim getting their just returns. It all comes down to trust and honesty so I would need to have a face to face meeting and a good long talk both with the claim owner and those who are interested in putting up the cash. 3/I would also like to know the estimated value of the claim...( grams per cubic metre ) If those things can be sorted out then I am sure a lot of fun could be had and if there is good gold, a tidy profit to be made. Just my thoughs

The cost of that would be more than I'm asking for the claim. There has been very little mining beyond the elevator pits in the drybed in the lower parts. This has no bearing on the claim. As for grades, all I can say is the Nokomai Flats around the Nokomai Station homestead got loaded with huge gold volumes which was sourced from the Nokomai River, being that in the claim. Prior to the last glaciation, the Nokomai River was also fed from the NEvis River before it was forced to the Kawarau also. The Nokomai Flats were around 60feet deep to the bottom where L&M got huge grades from what I understand.

I can then post the information on to people who are interested but live further away?

From the mining permit and consents perspective, it'd be fine.

Need a couple more members , first in .

Pretty impressive, sounds a lot like a Krugg trencher... Shifting a fair few meters an hour.
