[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 663218, member: 4386"] No, there is definitely no distinction being made. I know those reefs on the spreadsheet and those that say only "Quartz worked" were all worked for gold. Some are well known gold mines. Don't know answer to last question - I did not even know that plantations existed on public land! Not sure why you are using the "Geological Lines and Faults 100k file" - it seems to be the hard way to do it (and I am unclear about your aim). Are you interested in detecting or in making maps (I have already compiled all auriferous reefs in Victoria digitally at 25K scale)? Here is a reduced version of my 25K compilation for the area you are dealing with (mine are mostly accurate to about 50 m or better on my digital files), Crosses are reef mines where I don't know the orientation of some reefs, otherwise the lines are auriferous reefs. Of course they are named on my 25K originals. I did it using the "mineral occurrences" file and making subsets of it to only record hard-rock (not alluvial) gold mines, combined with registering and tracing from all geological and mining maps ever published going back to 1851 and up to the present. Of course I have roads, streams, contours on my plans - this is a simplified reduction (and no my maps are not available - I do this for a living)..
