Gold Line Prediction

See the likely path gold has travelled through your target area — from source to trap

Gold Line Prediction models the likely transport path of gold through a drainage system — showing you where gold has come from and where it is most likely to have settled.

How It Works

What Gold Line Prediction actually does

Using elevation data, drainage analysis, and geological information, DigMate models the transport corridor that gold would follow from its likely source (reef outcrop or high-country geology) through the drainage system to its likely trap zones. The result is a visual overlay showing the most probable gold transport path.

1
Select an area

Navigate to your target drainage system on the map.

2
Enable Gold Line

Toggle the Gold Line Prediction overlay from the layers panel.

3
Trace the corridor

The overlay shows the modelled transport path from source to trap zones.

4
Target the trap zones

Focus your prospecting on the trap zones at the end of the transport corridor — inside bends, slope breaks, and bedrock exposures.

When to Use It

Understanding where gold has come from in a new area
Identifying the most productive section of a long creek system
Finding the trap zones at the end of a transport corridor
Planning a systematic search of a drainage system

Common Questions

FAQ — Gold Line Prediction

How accurate is Gold Line Prediction?

Gold Line Prediction is a model based on terrain and geological data. It shows the most probable transport path — not a guaranteed gold trail. It is a planning tool, not a metal detector.
