[QUOTE="Goldtarget, post: 422089, member: 2152"] The fast way around is to find the holder, write to them about what you wish to do and ask permission. Variations are found in the way the holders manage their exploration, some are fenced with machines, some are open swathes of land awaiting drilling, some are not actively worked and are otherwise open ground. Exploration licence can be granted over private land which means you will lawfully have to seek permission from both no matter how unlikely. I've come to believe on an EL only as a technical point do you need permission, I believe it's a liability issue rather than a regulations issue, but I'm no lawyer. Going through the department will just lead to a series of dead ends as most of the time they have l8ttle understanding of what they are actually administrating. If that doesn't clear it up then good luck figuring it all out, it is, pardon the pun, a minefield, unless you are the applicant, in which case it's pretty straight forward process. Just to clarify I have been granted permission on two ELS direct from the holders stating acceptance of activities, times they can be undertaken, and expiration date. All headed by holders logos carried on site. [/QUOTE]
