Authorised Version incorporating amendments as at 30 June 2014. The key points for prospectors (not miners) are the following, which is pretty much, situation normal, BUT make sure you have your Victorian Miners Right. I would recommend you read the other relevant mining and exploration sections of the Act, as it answers some of the questions that are being asked about small-scale mining on private land - there are rules for this that need to be followed as well.
