[QUOTE="Benny_Aye, post: 422613, member: 11716"] Thanks OLDGT and Jahan. The regulations are about as clear as mud and I guarantee any conversation with an appropriate authority will yield different results each time. RE: Private land. I certainly wouldn't enter without land owner permission but I was more interested in EL's on crown land. I was looking in particular at the Wombat Forest which has a number of EL's covering a lot of ground and nearly all is just open with no physical indication that anyone has an interest in it. I'm sure that relates to a lot of areas. I was using GEOVIC to scout the areas and the EL's cover crown land where some prospective mines were going to go ahead even dating back to the 90's but there has been no movement whatsoever. Jahan, I used that search string and mainly found results pertaining to requirements when applying for and whilst under an EL. One document I did come across (which I cannot verify the contents of - [url]http://sedc.webs.com/documents/Prospecting%20in%20Victoria.pdf)[/url] states: "29. Does the holder of a Miners Right need the consent of an Exploration Licence holder to prospect on land covered by an Exploration Licence? No." It's a South Australian club but the doc is titled "Prospecting in Victoria" Best to play it safe and I will make an attempt to contact the relevant stakeholders of the EL's just to cover bases. There certainly seems to be enough grey area to say you're legitimately allowed to be on that ground without their permission though. [/QUOTE]
