Establishing #gold districts allowed @nsgov to administer NS mineral rights. It also helped avoid the crime, violence and disease that accompanied gold rushes in California (1848) and Australia (1851) by establishing a legal process for staking claims and managing areas.

Some #NovaScotia #gold districts saw a lot of #mining but many saw very little.
The #Tangier gold district was one of the first established. Gold was discovered there in 1860 and over 600 miners and prospectors arrived in the Tangier area within a year.
