i used to have his email ill have a look later if ive still got it somewhere.
access is the only thing going for that claim and thats the reason it gets an absolute hiding by everyone. when i was living up that way it wasnt uncommon to have 10-15 dredges going hard every weekend through summer up there, a couple of the locals would spend every day down there, think its been that way ever since dredges have been around that claim has been thrashed to hell but there must still be gold or they wouldnt keep going back lol.

Illegal gold prospecting concern
Contacts:

John Wotherspoon, DOC Nelson Lakes Community Relations Programme Manager, ph: +64 3 521 1806, or

Trish Grant, DOC Nelson Marlborough Communications Advisor, ph: +64 3 546 3146.

Date: 10 February 2012

The Department of Conservation has seized equipment found at two illegal gold sluicing sites in the Glenhope Scenic Reserve in recent weeks, and is reminding the public only approved gold prospecting is allowed in conservation areas.

On Nelson-Tasman public conservation land, recreational gold fossicking is allowed at four sites, two on tributaries of the Howard River in the Glenhope Scenic Reserve and two on Golden Bay’s Aorere River. Only hand-held, non-motorised equipment can be used.

In early January, DOC staff seized sluicing equipment, including a motorised pump and pipes, found in the recreational gold fossicking area at Louis Creek in Glenhope Scenic Reserve. On Thursday, 2 February DOC staff seized gold sluicing equipment found at a site further up Louis Creek outside the approved fossicking area. At both sites, no one was using the equipment at the time and those responsible for it have not been located.

DOC Nelson Lakes Community Relations Programme Manager John Wotherspoon said those carrying out the gold sluicing did not have the required approval of DOC or the necessary New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals permits.

‘The designated gold fossicking sites provide a recreational gold panning experience for families and others to enjoy for some fun and to hopefully collect a few flakes of gold. Those using motorised equipment in these approved fossicking sites are spoiling it for others.
