[QUOTE="SWright, post: 372775, member: 1541"] G'Day The Novo deposit is a new discovery. While there have been some shallow workings from the days of the old timers, most of the mining at Nullagine was shallow modern alluvials in the vicinity of the Novo discovery. The novo find is not only a new find but the first time a precambian pebble conglomerate containing gold has been discovered in Australia. It has similarities to the South African Witwatersrand gold/uranium bearing conglomerates The beds containing the gold also dip fairly shallowly and the requires some novel open cut mining methods and underground mining if they do go deeper would also require some great deal of thought. In any mining for gold it has to be a trade off between how much the method of mining will cost compared to how much they can effectively extract and treat while keeping to overall economics of the operation positive.
