Exploration Reporting Guidelines

The Guidelines

Download the UPDATED Mineral Exploration Reporting Guidelines (.PDF 161.6Kb)

These guidelines have been produced to assist Exploration Licence holders in the preparation and submission of statutory reports for Mineral Exploration Licences in South Australia.

The guidelines have been formulated in line with national standards on the reporting of digital exploration data, and the content of exploration reports. The receipt of these reports in a standardised format and the data in digital form will enable a more efficient and cost effective data capture by government and will ultimately provide:

  • more consistent and complete reporting of activities by companies which operate in a number of states and territories within Australia
  • better and more timely data availability and thus more effective re-use by industry
  • more efficient data refining by PIRSA because the data will be more readily interpreted and easier to incorporate into PIRSA technical databases and promotional data packages to industry.

 

New reporting requirements

As from 1 July 2008 the reporting requirements specify that digital data reporting only is required (no hardcopy).
