Request for Guidance on Small-Scale Alluvial Gold Prospecting Methods
I am currently conducting a study focused on identifying potential alluvial gold targets, particularly placers, within an area ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 km². After analyzing existing data related to artisanal mining activities in the region, I found that the number of recorded sites is insufficient given the vastness of the area. To complement this approach, I made use of remote sensing, particularly the analysis of satellite imagery, which enabled me to highlight several potential placers and to define prospective zones. However, since I do not yet have the necessary equipment and I am not entirely certain of the most appropriate method to carry out small-scale gold prospecting, I would like, given your expertise, to seek your advice on the most suitable approaches. I sincerely thank you in advance for your availability and guidance. I would also like to point out that the identified prospects range in size from 0.9 to 10 km².
