You Must have a Miners Right!

Here is a BRIEF outline or where you can go Prospecting for Gold in West Australia;

  • VCL that has a tenement that is pending (Blue hashed lines on Tengraph Web).
  • Granted Mining Tenement provided you have Written Permission. (M P or E)
  • Granted Exploration Tenement if you have a a Section 40E Permit about 46% of land.
  • Crown Pastoral Leasehold land (that is not subject to a granted Mining Lease M P or E) provided you advise the Pastoralist that you will be prospecting for gold on the Pastoral Leasehold land (with some restrictions where you need written permission, e.g. within 400 metres of a stock watering point).

What is Crown Land in WA

Public lands are referred to as Crown land, including land set aside for nature conservation and various government or public purposes, as well as vacant land.

As opposed to privately owned land such as Freehold Owned Land.


Crown Land Definition in Western Australia

Crown Land can consist of a number of different uses such as:
– Vacant or unallocated Crown Land not used for any purpose.

– Crown Land that is leased to users like Pastoral Leaseholders for the purposes of grazing livestock.

– Crown land that is used for Reserves such as “A” Class reserves.

– Crown land for specific uses such as Road reserves Water reserves and so on.

Then there is Native title land as well. The Video explains how to find that also.

The knowledge of location of Native title land is becoming more  important now that the Federal Court has been approving swaths of land As "Exclusive Use" Native Title Land which mean you cannot access it without permission of the Native Title Holders.
