The Department of Mines, Petroleum and Exploration in Western Australia has published the list of mineral exploration reports scheduled for public release this year under the State’s sunset clause provisions.

The reports, submitted in 2020 and held in the Western Australian Mineral Exploration Database (WAMEX), will become publicly available from the beginning of May, unless objections are lodged by tenement holders.

The yearly release forms part of the State’s data transparency framework under the Mining Act 1978, which allows mineral exploration reports to be made public after five years of confidentiality.

According to the department, around 1 600 mineral exploration reports were released last year through the process.

The data contained in the reports provides valuable geological information that can support further exploration and research by mining companies and the broader geoscientific community.

Tenement holders and operators now have a two-month window to submit written objections to the proposed release. Objections must be sent to the Geological Survey of Western Australia by April 24.
