| This learning object was created to give students the opportunity
to understand how gold is formed and where it is often found,
and then to explore for gold. The students are placed in the
role of working for a large resources company and their brief
is to find a viable mine site, within a tight budget of course.
The learning object draws on the knowledge of CSIRO scientists to provide the students with a rich background of how gold
is formed and what techniques are used to find it. Then the
students can go out in the field and use different survey
types to explore for gold. The only have a small budget, so
they need to use their surveys carefully.
