HOW IT COMES TOGETHER

From scattered sources to a trip plan.

A more useful planning picture starts with the right layers—and ends with a local check.

Three steps to a better-informed trip

  1. 0101 · Before

    Useful clues are scattered.

    Public surveys, tenure records, historic finds and access notes can take time to compare before a trip.
  2. 0202 · Collect

    Bring the layers into one regional view.

    Yonderlode is being designed to gather public sources by place, so prospectors can review more context together.

    Plan with the map. Verify access locally.

    Check source dates and current restrictions, then confirm land access with the relevant authorities and landholders.

THE PLANNED MAP

Four layers. A clearer starting point.

Designed to make public regional information easier to compare before a prospecting trip.

Geological surveys

Read public geological information alongside the rest of the ground picture.

Tenement boundaries

See mining tenure in context, then verify its current status before visiting.

Historic gold finds

Compare public find records with the surrounding geological picture.

Access information

Review available access context, then confirm it directly with the right people.

Planned source dates and status information help with planning; they are not permission to prospect.

FROM DESK TO FIELD

Plan with context. Confirm before you go.

Yonderlode is intended to make desk research simpler. Conditions change, public records have source dates, and access depends on the ground you are visiting.

A map is a planning aid, not permission. Check current restrictions with the relevant authorities and confirm access with landholders before prospecting.
