New electronic lodgement system
Copyright Brian Ellis MLC © 2009 - 2010
New electronic lodgement systems for minerals titles at the Department of Mines and Petroleum have made transactions more efficient and convenient for resource companies.
Prior to these changes, companies were required to lodge their forms at the office of the Mining Registrar responsible for the mining district. Forms can now be submitted to any of the DMP’s 10 minerals titles’ offices across the State.
Electronic lodgement is also available for a selection of tenement forms. The system also features data validation to ensure accuracy of required information prior to submission.
Included in Stage 1 are:
Operations Report - Expenditure on a Mining Tenement (Form 5)
Objection (Form 16)
Application for Exemption (Form 18)
Application for Mining Tenement (Form 21).
This is the first stage of introducing the new system which will eventually include all mineral title’s forms associated with the Mining Act. Industry feedback has been positive.
