Description: Mines and mineral deposits of Western Australia: a spatial extract from MINEDEX database. MINEDEX provides a coordinated, project-based, inquiry system for textual information on mine and site locations (coordinates etc.), notice of intent to mine, mineral resources, mine production, mining inspection data, and environmental reports.
This dataset was formally known as Minedex (DMP-001)
Description: Index to mineral core stored by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. This mineral drillcore is usually obtained from mineral exploration companies and is selected on the basis of a number of geological criteria and the need to promote the mineral prospectivity of Western Australia. The core libraries in Perth and Kalgoorlie are only capable of storing 2 to 5% of core drilled each year in Western Australia, and once stored is available for public viewing. Information on drillcore is usually sourced from WAMEX reports (company exploration reports) submitted to the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. The accuracy of such information is not routinely checked.
This dataset was formally known as Mineral Drill Holes (DMP-002).

Description: File Notation Areas (FNA) as they appear spatially within the Department of Mines and Petroleum’s TENGRAPH system. File Notation Areas are any proposed land transaction, or alienation from the Crown, or other proposed change in land use. The information provides purpose details and a reference to a Departmental file, (i.e. file/volume/folio number). Many of the FNA's involve Section 16(3) clearances under the Mining Act.'
This dataset was formally known as File Notation Area (DMP-024)
Description: Section 19 – Under Section 19 of the Mining Act (1978) the Minister, or his delegate, may exempt any land, (not being private land or land that is the subject of a mining tenement or of an application therefore), from mining or any specified provisions of the Mining Act. The distinguishing factor is that a S19 can only exist by Ministerial approval and Gazettal and although a S19 can be created over any land it can never co-exist with private land or mining tenure. The primary purpose of a S19 is to provide a 24-month period for the interested party to organise the reserving or leasing of the area but a S19 can also be created for other reasons subject to the Minister or his delegate being satisfied it is warranted. There is provision that the Minister, or his delegate, may vary, cancel and extend the term of a S19 for a period or periods (not exceeding 2 years at a time) and this is commonly done. Any creation, variation or cancellation of a S19 must be published in the Government Gazette. The S19 will expire if is not extended. Prior to 14 October 1995 S19s were created with an indefinite term and can only be removed by having the Minister cancel the S19.
Description: GENERAL APPROVAL UNDER SECTION 16(3) OF THE MINING ACT 1978 SECTION 439, OFFSHORE MINERALS ACT 2003 AND SECTION 91(5), LAND ADMINISTRATION ACT 1997 Pursuant to section 16(3) of the Mining Act 1978, section 439 of the Offshore Minerals Act 2003 and section 91 of the Land Administration Act 1997, a general approval in respect of all land proposals that fall within the land areas in this dataset. This is on the understanding that where there is any uncertainty regarding a land proposal and/or the question of whether or not it falls within one of the categories of land described hereunder, the matter will be resolved between the relevant Agencies or, as a precaution if considered necessary, referred to the Department of Mines and Petroleum for consideration. This general approval excludes land proposals where it is proposed to take rights issued pursuant to the above mentioned Acts.

Description: Mineralisation Zones are areas of the state that represent Brown Field areas where only 70 Block exploration licence applications are permitted. Outside of these areas (Green Field) 200 block exploration licence applications are permitted. Mining Act 1978 Section 57 - Grant of Exploration Licence (1) Subject to this Act the Minister may on the application of any person and after receiving a recommendation of the mining registrar or the warden in accordance with section 59, grant to that person a licence to be known as an exploration licence on such terms and conditions as the Minister may determine. (2) The area of land in respect of which an exploration licence may be granted shall be a block or blocks but shall not be more than 70 blocks unless subsection (2aa) applies. (2aa) If the area of land referred to in subsection (2) is in an area of the State designated under section 57A(1) it shall not be more than 200 blocks. Section 57A (5) If — (a) an application for an exploration licence is made in respect of an area of land that is in an area of the State designated under subsection (1) (a designated area); and (b) before the application is determined the designation is varied or cancelled under subsection (2) with the result that the area of land to which the application relates ceases to be in a designated area, then, despite that variation or cancellation, section 57(2aa) applies as if the area of land were in a designated area.
