It will be files away in some big international mining company's filing system

Seem to remember a short item on the TV a while back. Gold in behind Kaeo from memory.

Search for report MR4327 Airbourne Geophysical Data. I haven't requested any info from this site so can't say how easy it is to go through the process. There could be other regions listed as well.

In reality we have never had access to such a wealth of information as we have in recent years.
