RE: Mining Lease Aplication3 Aug 2020 11:29
Hi UR,
If you look on here it gives you the steps required to submit a mining lease application.
https://www.dmp.wa.gov.au/Minerals/How-do-I-Minerals-8044.aspx
Looks like they need to submit a "Mineralisation Report" provided they have sufficient drilling results to support this - it needn't be a detailed JORC report from my reading of it.
CONTENT OF MINERALISATION REPORT
11. Statement that a deposit of minerals has been defined within the boundaries of the
area applied for and the results of exploration activities indicate that there is a
reasonable expectation that mining operations can be undertaken to extract minerals.
In most cases this area will be within an existing prospecting or exploration licence
and the relevant tenement number should be quoted.
12. Plan showing the outline of the deposit of minerals (projected to the surface), the
boundaries of the existing tenement (where applicable), and the proposed boundaries
of the mining lease application
13. List of minerals that have been defined within the deposit. The term minerals”
includes metalliferous minerals, non-metalliferous minerals, industrial minerals, and
dimension stone.
14. Methods of defining the zone (e.g. drill intersections, costean channel sampling, old
adit sampling, etc.). The methods may include historical work undertaken by previous
tenement holders of the same ground.
15. List of analytical results and brief discussion in the text to demonstrate the existence
of significant grades and widths of mineralisation. These may include earlier results
obtained by previous tenement holders of the same ground. The list should include
only those drillholes (and/or costeans and/or adits) that appear on the plan referred to
in Note 16. Describe sampling techniques, drill sample methods and recoveries, and
quality of analytical data for all samples. In the case of certain industrial minerals the
results should include analyses of the physical properties which demonstrate that the
deposit can be economically extracted.
16. Plan showing the outline of the deposit of minerals (projected to the surface) and the
positions of all drill holes, costeans, adits, etc. that have intersected the deposit. The
plan should also show the locations of two or three representative cross sections (or
one or two long sections).
17. Cross sections / long sections (with drill profiles and/or costean outlines) to show
intersections of mineralisation and its host rocks, together with analytical results in a
generalized format (i.e. showing bulked intersections with average grades).
18. Additional information that an applicant may wish to submit, to further support the
existence of a deposit of minerals and the intention to extract those minerals, such as:
• proposed program of work and expenditure to be undertaken to upgrade the
status of the deposit of minerals after the proposed mining lease is granted;
• metallurgical test results;
• bulk densities of mine
