Where gold is actually hiding near Norseman
Norseman sits on the Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belt of the Yilgarn Craton. Gold mineralisation is associated with shear zones, quartz reefs, and BIF contacts. The region has produced significant nuggets and is considered highly prospective.
Ephemeral drainage lines and salt lake margins concentrate alluvial gold. The flat Yilgarn landscape means gold settles in shallow bedrock depressions and calcrete horizons.
