Mining

Authorisations and Evaluations and Compliance

Subsequent to obtaining access to land via Titles under the Mining Act, the Minerals and Energy Group also administer the requirements of the Mining Management Act for operational activities within the Northern Territory.

All mining operational activities are administered by the Authorisations and Evaluations and Compliance Divisions of the Minerals and Energy Group. These activities include exploration activities such as drilling and bulk sampling which are defined as causing substantial disturbance.

These Divisions grant Authorisations for operational activities, manage rehabilitation securities, regulatory reporting and audit environmental performance.
