[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 526598, member: 4485"] You could ask different lawyers & likely get different interpretations especially where no cases in law exist. Do you know anyone who's been charged for fossicking on a EPM? Have you got some links to the court documents & Judges decision? The legislation is clearly set out for Fossicking. I deal with various Mining Legislation regularly, get audited on it by Mines Inspectors & know it reasonably well (better than the average fossicker/prospector) but I'm not a lawyer. If you think there's a hidden meaning to the legislation then I challenge you to provide such from an experienced minerals industry lawyer. The legislation to us (& it seems the Deputy Registrar) is clearly in black & white in the Act. EPM's clearly don't afford exclusive land use in Qld. Getting really sick & tired of people holding "paper" permits over otherwise accessible land, especially Crown Land, thinking they have the right to exclude other lawful activities on such land. There are a multitude of people in this country paying a pittance to hold "paper" permits over land that either don't use the land under the permit/lease terms or think they have exclusive rights of use but simply do not. It's about time we kicked back in this country. I can see by how personal your attacks on others are getting you have no legitimate basis to your argument only personal agenda. [/QUOTE]
