When making an application for an exploration licence the applicant must provide evidence of their ability to effectively explore the land once the licence is granted.
An application for an exploration licence must be accompanied by a statement specifying information such as the method of exploration, details of the program of proposed work, proposed estimated expenditure on exploration and the technical and financial resources available to the applicant.
The attached Guidelines for applicants – Section 58(1)(b) statement to accompany applications for exploration licences is intended as a guide to assist applicants for exploration licences with the preparation of this statement.
