Expired lease north east of Ballarat (Nerrina)

Does anyone know anything about the Nerrina area, noth east of Ballarat? I wanted to check it out but im not sure whether there is a lease on it.

A company by the name of North Ballarat Pty Ltd had several leases on that area. There website has a map: http://www.northballarat.com.au/northballarat_003.htm

Something that got me interested from their website: "Nerrina has a recorded production of 200,000oz of primary and alluvial gold. However, this relates to only 3% of the mapped workings."

The area im interesting in checking out is here, to the left of the White Swan Reservoir: http://maps.google.com.au/?ll=-37.51806,143.915526&spn=0.030158,0.066047&t=v&z=15&vpsrc=6

They have three leases in this area

EL4834: 13/07/2005 to 12/07/2010 (expired I think)
EL5699: 06/09/2006 to 05/09/2014
EL4993: 17/01/2007 to 16/01/2012 (about to expire, and they haven't submitted a renewal to the DPI yet)

I got this expiry and renewal info etc from: http://www.dpi.vic.gov.au/earth-resources/investment-and-trade/licences-permits/minerals-extractive-licences/mineral-tenements-curent-exploration-licences

Can anyone steer me in the right direction as to how I would confim that EL4834 has definately expired and im not going to get shot if I prospect there?

Thanks

In the past when I did Victoria, EL over one year old could be pegged without EL permission. No permission required for fossicking.

If you want to know what is Currant for EL ,

Prospect all you like on a EL as long as your not jumping fences.

Brad, I find the best way to know if a lease has expired is to ring the DPI at Bendigo and tell them the lease number, I trust Ballarat and other regional DPI would have the same info on the computer. That way the info is up to date.

Here is a Photo's of the gold I got back in 2000 with the ML-2100 you just do not know what I left behide so if you want a x marks the spot map I give it to you

Still lots of rubbish about but that just means lots of gold still to be found

Good luck with that map , do you have the mapping software Ozi-Explorer.

You can prospect on an EL and in fact if you really get interested you can peg an ML under 5 hectares
