[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 562454, member: 4485"] The mineral title/s you're looking at would be Exploration Licence/s & they can/do indeed cover large areas of land including urban areas. In reality they carry out exploration activities in only small portions of these areas. There's little concern for alarm as they cannot just lob in your backyard & start exploration work let alone mining. There are regulations in place that govern this & Licence holders are also subject to a statutory prohibition on carrying out activities within 200 metres of a residence without the consent of the land holder and resident. Probably best to read this if concerned: [url]https://www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/landholders-and-community/minerals-and-coal/exploration[/url] [url]https://www.resourcesandgeoscience.nsw.gov.au/landholders-and-community/minerals-and-coal/template-for-land-access[/url] In NSW to fossick/prospect on these Exploration Licence areas by rights you do need permission from the licence holder unless the area is a declared Fossicking District. Being NSW Central West it is highly likely that your area is in a declared Fossicking District so Exploration Licence holder permission wouldn't be required but the usual land access permissions from landowners/managers are still required. You can view NSW Fossicking Districts here by selecting them as a layer under Fossicking: [url]https://minview.geoscience.nsw.gov.au/#/?lon=NaN&lat=NaN&z=NaN&l=[/url] Add layer > Fossicking > Fossicking Districts [/QUOTE]
