Using Bore Data To Read The Ground In The Goldfields
#gold #mining #history
Today I'm going to show you something really cool which I recently came across while nerding out on this handy mapping application, Visualizing Victoria's Groundwater.
This free online tool gives us an interesting underground glimpse beneath Victoria, using bore data which has been presented in this brilliant interactive map.
Each of these points are bores which have been drilled throughout history, some very recent, and some dating back well into the 19th century.
The feature which I find most interesting about these bores is the data which has been recorded under the 'lithology' section. This tells us the different layers of ground that was drilled through in each location.
Not all bores have had this data recorded and presented in this application, but some have, and they provide us with some very interesting insights into the depth and composition of the ground beneath an area.
So the first thing I'm going to show you, which I think is just ridiculously cool, is an interesting layer which was drilled through in a bore in Timor in 1986, right on the site of the Band of Hope deep lead mine, which operated here on the Chinamans Flat Lead in the late 19th century.

great information and very interesting, thx for sharing
Outstanding video, I could have watched a 20 minute + video on this. If you have more on this video that hit the cutting room floor, knock it up. Left of centre thinking for geology. Cheers 🍻

Thanks mate, much appreciated! 🙂⚒
Well done 👏👏 very informative 👍
I know more exploration geologist's than most mineral prospectors would ever get to meet and I note that you have more passion for exploration than just about every single one of them . Keep it up young lady and one day you will hit the jackpot yourself. That bore data is brilliant by the way, thankyou for sharing it. Rory, Tasmania.
