Pitfield & licences23 Jul 2025 13:55
I have been researching EEE's rights over the land at Pitfield and the provisions of the Mining Act 1978.
EEE as Exploration Licence holders have priority for a mining lease subject to a successful application.
The application appears to hinge upon (1) compliance with the terms of the exploration licence (presumably a tick), a mining proposal (presumably starting work on that), a JORC-compliant MRE (likely soon), Native title and heritage (centuries old farm land - unlikely to be an issue) and environmental reports (presumably have been working towards these as we have progressed).
So, get the MRE and a decent mining plan together and we should be able to apply to DEMIRS (or whatever the new name is) for the mining licence.
Is this a fair summary of where we are at, or have I missed anything?
