Prospecting, Exploration, Mining on Pastoral Leases
The aim of this pamphlet is to provide a common sense approach to prospecting, exploring and mining on pastoral leases whilst still conforming with the requirements of the Mining Act in order to create a positive working relationship between the pastoral and mining industry.
It should be read in conjunction with a booklet titled "Code of Conduct for Mineral Exploration on Pastoral Leases" which was jointly developed by the Pastoralists and Graziers' Association of WA (Inc), the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of WA Inc; and the Association of Mining and Exploration Companies Inc.
For ease of reference the term pastoralist has been used throughout this pamphlet. In appropriate instances eg. where contact must be made with the pastoralist, the term includes the Station Manager or person in actual occupation of the land.
