Goldmine Finder Software and Database

The Goldmine Finder Software and Data for over 34000 mines in West Australia which was formerly available on CD is now  no longer available.

(Important Note ; We had planned to rebuild the Goldmine Finder Software and Data CD but too few people are interested in a rebuild given the information is readily available on  Tengraph Web and GeoVIEW.
Both of those are free programs provided by the Department of Mines in WA.

GoldMine Finder Alternative to Find Historical Gold Mines Data

In the past although you could find old gold mine names and mud maps showing you the way to the gold you did not have precise GPS localities.

Over the last century those old map marks and tracks no longer exist - you need precise GPS points of the old gold mine to find it again.

We understand that you need a way to find this data so we have created a few new pages for you to find old gold mines Data and Historical Gold fields information and download  the data for use in Software like GeoMap  or as GPS points for use in your GPS Equipment.

These Pages Will Help You Locate WA Gold Mines

GOLDtracker App 

When it comes to finding gold in WA or finding a spot for your Section 40e application to go prospecting,

The best tool is Goldtracker which scores every graticular block in WA with the potential to find gold. (There are over 1 million graticular blocks in WA).

With your Android device GPS you will know exactly where you are on the ground when you are in the bush.
