Excerpt from Report on the Wyalong Gold-FieldThe Wyalong Gold-field was discovered in 1893, and it has since been developed so vigorously that it is, at the present time, the most productive field in the Colony. The characteristic lenticular lodes in which the gold was first found near the surface, and which occurred in decomposed granite, have been proved to extend downwards into the undecomposed rock, and to preserv e their general character, as well as their productiveness, to considerable depths. The permanence of the field, therefore, appears to be assured.With regard to the question of alluvial deposits, it is, I think, premature to assert that such deposits do not exist in the neighbourhood, though it is a fact that they have not yet been discovered. The difficulties ln the way of finding alluvial leads ln such ¿at country as that surrounding Wyalong are very great, seeing that the surface presents no features that would serve as guides to prospectors. The same difficulties exist in portions of Western Australia, where alluvial gold was not discovered for a considerable time after the lodes had been proved, and where, I feel convinced, many more alluvial leads will yet be found.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
