Just wondering if anybody can give me some advice on what would be required to start my own small scale mining operations?
If I was to purchase a sizable block of land in say, Cleremont CQ which is a rich gold grounds, what would be the process to say set up my own gold mine there?
Just me and my family working it on my off week from my work at Peak Downs.
Just small scale, running under my own ming lease, with an excavator, loader as my main equipment, and then a viber/trommel/giant sluice box setup wash plant.
I know a few of you guys run your own setups like this, so was just wondering how much red tape and such there is for a hobby mine. Things like public approval, EIS, etcetc
Because if I can find a clear path through the government BS with starting a mini mine, then I can get around to finding a sizable property that has good reserves on it that isn't already got a lease on it.
And then somehow, SOMEHOW convince the wife to A, move to a rural area B, convince her to let me start a mine on our new large rural property C, somehow get her approval to buy or lease earthmoving machinery and D, get her to agree to work the mine with me lol
