In Victoria, mining and mineral exploration activities is regulated under the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act 1990 (MRSD Act) and overseen by Earth Resources Regulation (ERR), part of the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA).
SXGC has applied to Resources Victoria for a Mining Licence, MIN009040, over the Golden Dyke area of the Sunday Creek Project. For more information on our mining licence application, licence area map and how you can provide feedback, please click the link below.
Mining licence applicationAlong with the MRSD Act, mineral exploration activities are guided by the Code of Practice for Mineral Exploration which provides practical guidance about how exploration work should be conducted in Victoria to meet regulatory requirements and environmental standards under the MRSD Act.
Exploration licences are granted by the Victorian Government to explore for a group of minerals in the licence area generally for a period of up to five years initially, with the option for renewal. The area of the licence is measured in ‘graticular sections’ and may cover between one and 500 square kilometres.
In addition to ERR exploration licences, SXG are required to obtain permits from other regulatory agencies including to operate in State Forests, work near water ways, remove native vegetation or to work in public road reserves.
