Tailings Dump Licences mainly licences from 1860 to 1930 Being digitized to help in identifying land where native title claims may be rejected.

The areas occur usually when part of an Exploration Licence is relinquished and the entire tenement has not expired.

Regions showing the extent of Mining Licences currently lodged with Earth Resources Regulations. The boundaries are derived from a combination of entering graticular boundaries (exact AMG co-ordinates) and digitizing along areas of land status (Earth Resources version of landmmt100) which are unable to be mined or explored. Refer to the Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) Act (MRSDA) 1990 for more detail. (MIN is included in ML) NOTE: For GeoVic, "Operating Gold Mines" are a subset of this dataset where during the current financial year the tenement recorded production in excess of 100 kg Au, and/or are currently at an advanced stage of resource development with a target production rate of at least 100kg Au per year.

Exploration Licences that are no longer Active that expired since 1965. This layer is an amalgamation of ELHST and HISTVIC

Non-current mining Lease polygons and production licence polygons for all mineral categories across Tasmania, with tenement information derived from the TIGER system; administered by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT), Department of State Growth. Non-current records include leases that were registered but never granted (application withdraw, lapsed or refused) as well as leases that were granted and later ceased to be current (e.g. expired, surrendered, renewal refused, revoked etc.). In cases where a partial surrender was approved during the term of the lease, only the final area is represented in this dataset. Mining Lease polygons delineate areas in which lease holders are permitted to conduct mining operations. Mining Leases may be granted over both Crown and private land, so long as that land falls under the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995. Mining operations include: obtaining and treating minerals, storing and containing minerals or waste material generated on a lease or another area, and activities associated with mining. Mining also includes production activities in relation to a category 4 mineral or a category 6 mineral.
