blisters said:Australians have a sense of humour you might not be used to. My only advice is to get the english perfect if you are trying to get interest in a mining consortium. Get a friend who speaks English fluently to translate. We do get a lot of scams from foreign countries so unless your English is good you'll be ignored. Conversely you don't want to be scammed yourself so don't rely on machine translation. Your best option is to get someone in the small scale industry as a lookout as there are plenty of barren prospects people will try to sell. The info regarding lease etc. costs are available online. Good luck with your venture.
