[QUOTE="Benny_Aye, post: 422069, member: 11716"] I've trawled the threads and can only find one reference from 2013 about being able to prospect on ground covered by an Exploration License. I've Googled the hell out of it but can come up with no definitive answer that says you can or can't do it. I know Earth Resources Vic is not the authority but it is the only place I can find the specific question addressed, kind of. [url]http://earthresources.vic.gov.au/earth-resources-regulation/recreational-prospecting-and-fossicking/land-access-rules[/url] In the "Allowed with Consent" area of the table it states: "Mining, prospecting or retention licence areas, but not exploration licence areas (other than Crown land where recreational prospecting is banned - see below. The "Land Access Rules" for this are: - "Consent must be sought from the licence holder. This consent is additional to any other requirements in this table. These licence types can be found on Mining Licences Near Me." To me this reads that you only require consent for prospecting on Mining Licences. Can anyone please confirm what the policy is and if and where it is actually stated in writing. Cheers in advance. [/QUOTE]
