[QUOTE="user 1769, post: 153446, member: 1769"] Over here in Tassie, we need permission from the companies who own any kind of tenement (exploration, retention licence, mining lease) in order to prospect. However, the law states that the companies MUST give the prospector reasons - in writing - if they refuse. So companies that ignore requests might end up with prospectors in their land who deem their silence as permission. They can't kick you out, but they can stop you from prospecting, if that makes sense. I can't say I agree, as a prospector, but I can see that (for a company) the whole point of going to the effort and expense of taking out an EL is so that they have exclusive rights to explore that ground. I've had relatively good success negotiating access in the past. Many exploration companies don't really have enough eyes on the ground, and if you're happy for an arrangement where you report what you find to the company, my experience has been mostly positive. As far as most are concerned, more eyes on the ground give better coverage. [/QUOTE]
