Description
The focus of the new Act will be on encouraging active exploration on granted exploration licences and the continuous operation of mining tenements. One significant change will be for mineral claims to be converted to either exploration licences or mineral leases, in an effort to focus on the actual basis for their continued existence. Exploration licences will be granted for an extended period, with more stringent expenditure requirements and penalties for non performance. Exploration retention licences will be available, subject some minor changes.
The recommendations contained this report address the objectives as outlined above.,
