Mining Lease Application Information

A mining lease gives the holder the exclusive right to conduct mining operations and sell the minerals specified in the conditions attached to the lease. A mining lease must be obtained before the production or sale of minerals can commence and is the first stage in South Australia’s two-stage mining approvals process.
