Spotted Dog is a modern gold prospect, or to be more accurate a gold in regolith anomalism. It is about 5 kilometres south-east of the Golden Vale mine. It was explored by Newcrest in the mid 1990's, and has been mentioned in recent years by other gold explorers. It is named after a nearby hill. Several small and widely scattered historic workings exist in the area from the early 1900's, related to the Ballard Shear. There are no obvious access points to the area. The Mindat co-ordinates are approximate.
