Here is the website to get free geological maps of all the minerals under the ground and at what depths etc.
Select 250,000:1 on the right, then the ZOOM + tool and zoom in on the area you are interested in.
When close enough, select the SELECT tool and click on your box of choice. It will open in a new window with 3 different image quality settings, then when it loads, click the map name at the top of the screen in blue and the map will load.
Note: These are full size maps, and to print them so they are legibal you will have to use a plotting printer like at officeworks and such.
It also gives on the bottom of the map a cutaway view of of the mineral layout etc

Also QDEX is a good source for Qld maps and mining reports, both current and historical.
You can register to use, which involves sending a form into the Mining Dept of Qld, or use the search for free. You can get some 100,000:1 maps here as well, but only limited ones, compared to the above which has the whole country mapped.
