I look forward to the video!! 
Amazing Shep! I really liked those smart bouldering methods (read something similar on FinancePolice). Would love to see the video as well. Please get it completed as soon as possible.
Just arrived home here in Perth, WA, from my first visit to New Zealand. WA is sand, sand and more sand. I found the geology of NZ amazing, I’m not a geologist, I’m a mere labourer with Alcoa. But everywhere in NZ are amazing rocks that glisten, in river beds, along the beaches. I spent many a happy hour just digging through the stones hoping to find a chunk. I found a lot of fools gold. I guess the real stuff takes a little more effort. Lovely country, great people. I got gold fever.

Awesome video Mal. Looks like fun
Great Video Mal and well edited and put together. My guess the Drone would be a Mavic. As to that waterway. What a gnarly looking beast, but that"s always where the best gold is. The oldtimers would have stood on the banks and only dreamed of what was down there on bedrock. And just to make things harder for you guys, Levered all the bloody great rocks on the banks into the stream, so they could get at the dry gold.
Awesome Vid Mal the production and editing look real fantastic!. Glad you guys are getting on the yellow.
Id be keen for you to do some drone footage of my claim in return for having a play if you like. PM me
Cheers

Yep correct…Mavic II I think. Goldstamp is the drone operator…he’s made some great footage…it’s his second drone …the first one went awall… lost in a high tree canopy in Fiordland on its maiden flight!
Yep they levered them in and we have to winch em out…lol
Cool footage. Well done. Didnt appear to be any fine or flakey gold. That seems a bit strange. Wasn’t getting blown straight through the box was it? Cheers
Good luck out there

Gorgeous country and rivers. Locked like a fun trip
I do not know about this area but two of our claims had no fine gold at all - it was all nuggets. In the Arrow, Shotover and Shag rivers and a host of others there is a great deal of fine gold but in some rivers, the gold when you find it, is always nice nuggets, and very scarce to find fine gold in some isolated spots.
