What is Included In the Gold History  - Historical Gold Mines of WA PDF?

In the video it refers to a Version of the Historical Gold Mines data that has GPS points - The Gold Mine Finder" However, this has not been rebuilt due to cost and lack of demand.

The downloadable PDF version for $9 provides the same data as shown on the video in the Historical Gold Mines CD. This information has been sourced from the 1954 publication "List of Cancelled Gold Mining Leases that Have Produced gold".

List of Cancelled Gold Mining Leases That Have Produced Gold

This publication was published in 1954, although it is an old publication it still provides valuable information about the 9000 plus mining leases that had been cancelled to that date.

The problem is that it is a printed book and its difficult to search for specific mines or old gold mining areas easily.

Information in The List of Cancelled Gold Mines Included the Following;

  • Information of over 9000 old mines.
  • The Gold History of those mines including the dates of production and ore produced
  • Whether the Gold was mined, dollied or alluvial.
  • Goldfield and Mining Centre Information.
  • The name of the old mining lease and the number of the gold mining lease.

You can still buy a paper copies of that book on ebay or the like, but it is out of print now.

All of that information is now included in the Historical Gold Mines of WA PDF download.
