[QUOTE="BrisJoe, post: 33787, member: 805"] Just some quick Q's about settinf up my own mining operation in Qld. The following are the rules for small scale mining: So if I want to run a backhoe and trommel screen, magnetic seperator and jigs to dig and extract, what style of mining would I apply my Minging Lease, if these pieces of machinery are excluded from the term "Small Scale mining"? Because under those rules, I am limited to a shovel and metal detector/sluice/pans. I can't even use a grader or ripper to churn the top layer of soil after I have spent 6 mths grid lining the 1 Ha lease with my metal detector. As I wish to setup up a hobby mine to run on the side, as I only work 6 mths of the year (gotta love working in the big mines :cool: ) and would rather invest in a gold operation then fast cars and boats and jetskis and motorbikes like everybody else in the mines does. At least I can then get some sort of semi profitable operation running to which I can pass to my kids when I'm too old to run things . [/QUOTE]
