Foley, who was known as Frank, disappeared from his home in the Reward Fossicking area near Rubyvale, around December 23, 2008.
Last year, a person fossicking for gems in Sheep Station Creek, which is about one kilometre downstream from Foley’s home found human remains.
After forensic testing, the remains were identified as Foley’s.
A renewed police search of the now-dry creek bed yesterday uncovered what are believed to be further human remains.
