[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 653627, member: 4485"] In becoming a fossicking district it removes the need for us to by rights (legally) have to acquire the permission of Exploration Lease holders to fossick. [B]It does NOT give fossickers any new rights of access [/B]but removes a lot of red tape. You still need landholder, land manager or Crown Land permissions/permits & any other mining tenement permissions for access. Exploration Leases can cover vast areas of lands when in fact the areas of interest within them can be relatively small. Exploration/mining companies are often ignorant of the requirement to be asked for permission, dont respond to requests for permission or just give you a flat out NO without any need to provide a reason. It can also be very hard for most to find information & contact details for owners of Exploration Leases. If you fossick on an area covered by an Exploration Lease, & you are not in a Fossicking District or dont have Exploration Lease holder permission, you are breaking the law and under the Mining Act 1992 can face a 50 point or $5500 penalty. This applies even if you have permission of the land owner or land manager/s! [/QUOTE]
