| Comments |
| The majority of work is currently within the area of the old Scottish Gympie mine which was historically the biggest producer within the |
| Gympie Goldfield but also includes the West of Scotland. |
| Gold production is from two styles of quartz veins: "Gympie vein quartz" lodes and "Inglewood" lodes. The Gympie veins were |
| signifcant historic producers and commonly contain spectacular high grades. |
| The Inglewood lodes are complex quartz veins emplaced at or near the eastern margin of a steeply-dipping, series of fractionated |
| microdiorites which were emplaced along the Inglewood Fault. |
| The gold within the Inglewood lodes is characterised by free gold which tends to be finer grained than in most of the Gympie quartz vein |
| lodes. Minor amounts of copper and arsenic are associated with the gold. |
| The Gympie Gold Limited operation is famous for its spectacular specimen gold which where possible is selectively removed and sold as |
| specimens and in jewellery. |
