Compiled from Google Earth placemark research (Gympie battery, mine and processing works locations). Coordinates are WGS84 decimal degrees, taken directly from the source placemarks. Entries marked “approx” are estimated from historical maps, reports and written accounts rather than surveyed. This list has not yet been cross-checked for duplicates — see the note below the table.

- Homeward Bound & Hibernian — “GeoResGlobe 6/027 6/028” and “Barker 1993 cr39277 2” are ~165m apart
- Eastern & South Smith(field) Battery — the “3 South Smithfield” and “South Smith Field” entries are ~65m apart (and may just be a spelling variant of the same record)
- Perseverance cluster — “Perseverance (approx) Battery”, “Perserverance Mine – several mines… GeoResGlobe 12/046”, and “GeoResGlobe 11/129 + Barker 1993” are all within ~150m of each other
- New Dawn cluster — “New Dawn Battery + tailings Dunstan #18”, “New Dawn battery Hg anomaly GS 847…”, and “New Dawn No. 2 #79…” are all within ~150m of each other
