NSW Minerals Council Mineral Exploration Handbook – Towards Environmental Excellence
Appendix 5 – Proforma Documentation (Word 97 document)
Appendix 6 – Forms and Checklists (Word 97 document)
The successful future of the mining industry is largely dependent on the work of the minerals explorers of today. The NSW Minerals Council promotes leading industry practice and its members strive to achieve environmental outcomes which meet or exceed community expectations.
The NSW Minerals Council Mineral Exploration Handbook – Towards Environmental Excellence contains practical guidance to help mineral exploration companies operating in NSW understand and meet their environmental responsibilities. The Handbook provides an overview of the environmental factors that mineral explorers need to consider when planning, conducting, monitoring, rehabilitating and reporting on their activities.
The Handbook outlines a wide range of leading practices for exploration in ideal conditions. Recognising the wide range of circumstances for exploration, not all of the practices outlined in the Handbook will be practical or possible for every exploration program or in all areas of NSW.
The NSW Government has proposed changes to the current exploration framework. The Handbook will be updated when these reforms have been implemented.
This Handbook provides guidance on legislative requirements and conditions but does not provide legal advice.
The Handbook is available for purchase ($50.00 inc. GST). To order email information@nswmin.com.au
