Overview

Excerpt from The Mineral Resources of New South Wales I have the honor to transmit for publication my notes on the Mineral Resources of New South Wales. NO attempt has been made to describe all the ore-deposits of the Colony; all that was possible, within the limits of such a volume as this, was to indicate the mode of occurrence of the principal types of deposits, and to supplement this, for the use of the prospector, by a list Of the known localities Of the different economic minerals. It has long been felt that some such volume was necessary, in order that an idea of the magnitude and variety of the mineral wealth of the Colony might be obtained by the public, Without the labour of referring to a number of separate official publications. In regard to the geological portion of the work, free use has been made of the writings of the late Rev. W. B. Clarke, the late Mr. C. S. Wilkinson, Professor David, Professor Liversidge, and the Officers of the Geological Survey; I have also had the advantage of personally examining most of the occurrences during a term of twenty-two years' service in the Department. The statistical information has been obtained from the Annual Reports of the Department of Mines, compiled by yourself and your predecessor, Mr. Harrie Wood.
