[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 135772, member: 4485"] To some extent yes. Large companies these days will either have their own specialist exploration teams or employ the services of a specialist company. Exploration relies on a lot of information that is gathered from prospecting (rock/soil sampling & analysis, drilling, excavation etc.), historic & current mining records, mineral & geological mapping/imaging etc. There is no doubt that individual prospectors & small scale miners can/do play a part but exploration still goes on regardless also. New deposits are found fairly regularly but the fact is the majority aren't financially viable, presently, to mine. Small scale miners are being regulated out in my opinion - costs, licensing, mining conditions etc. all taking a toll - more so in some states than others. Be interesting if you could offer some information to others on here as to the small scale mining methods you employ & how they are contained under your Miners Right or if you now have other licensing in place & what that process is/was. Plenty would have an interest. [/QUOTE]
