Users have the ability to order and pay for Tenement Title Searches online where they will be delivered online to a valid email account. A Tenement Title Search or Tenement Register Search is an official printable record of all publicly available details pertaining to a mining tenement.
Tenements with all the particulars detailed within the Tenement Register, as referred in Reg. 84C of the Mining Act 1978, will be delivered on-line. Tenements without detailed particulars in the Tenement Register (not the official register) are deemed a 'manual search' and photocopies of the paper register will be produced and delivered by post.
A list of tenement searches to be 'ordered' can be created in three ways:
1. To create a list of tenements for which you require Title Searches select Order an Official Tenement Search.
Enter your tenement number within the 'Tenement Id:' box (e.g. M30/1). Select Add Tenement. To add additional tenements just perform this same step again. The tenements you have entered will appear in the list below.
Tenements added to the list can be removed by clicking the Remove button next to the Tenement Id.
2. Tenements can also be added to the 'Tenement Selection' list by moving the mouse pointer over any highlighted tenement Id within the Mineral Titles Online system and selecting Order Tenement Search from the context menu that will be displayed.
3. A bulk upload of tenements (max of 50) can also be added to the "Tenement Selection" list by using the "upload facility", on the "Tenement Searches/ Step 1 - Tenement Selection" page.
