The Seven Golden Rules
1. Put safety first
Make sure you have enough water, fuel, maps and first aid supplies. Give serious consideration to taking some form of telecommunications and a global positioning system to fix locations, and a Personal Location Beacon (PLB) - it may turn out to be your most important safety device.
2. Obtain a Miner's Right permit
when prospecting on vacant Crown land ($25 from any Mining Registrar's office).
3. Obtain a 40E permit
when prospecting within an exploration tenement (if you do not have written permission from the tenement holder).
4. Get written permission from the tenement holder when prospecting on a mining lease or exploration licence (if you do not have a 40E permit).
5. Comply with all legal requirements
when prospecting on a pastoral lease, this includes gaining permission from the pastoralist for access to certain areas.
6. Show respect when on Crown land
because it is used or set aside for many purposes, including pastoral and grazing activities, parks and forests, the use and benefit of Aboriginal people and mining activities.
7. Fill any holes that you dug and repair ground that has been disturbed.
