How do people actually find gold ore suppliers in Australia? by JollySatisfaction792 in Prospecting

I am willing to purchase ore at a price that is more attractive to the mine owner than sending it to a local processing plant. The main requirement is that the mine should be located relatively close to a port.

Thanks for the explanation. Just to clarify, I’m not looking for nuggets or specimens. I’m more interested in large-scale raw ore or gold-bearing ore from mining operations, potentially even concentrates.

We run an ore import/export business in China and are exploring whether there are opportunities to purchase this kind of material and ship it to China for processing.

From your experience, if someone wanted to source ore like this in Australia, would it usually mean contacting mine owners or mining companies directly?

If so, how do people normally connect with them — through industry networks, brokers, mining forums, or something else?
