Exploration

An Exploration Authorisation (or Exploration Licence) is granted by the NSW Government. The NSW Government encourages mineral explorers to find and develop mineral resources, which deliver significant economic benefits in regional areas and to the State. This is achieved by placing conditions on the Authorisation directing the holder to undertake exploration activities. Read More >>.
