Code of conduct for mineral explorers

If you want to carry out mineral exploration in the Northern Territory (NT), you must meet certain requirements.

This includes complying with the Mineral Titles Act 2010.

Before you begin, you should read the code of conduct for mineral explorers.

It provides practical guidance to assist mineral explorers to conduct themselves appropriately and with consideration for the landowner.

It will help you meet your environmental obligations to maintain a high standard of environmental management and performance.

The code is voluntary. However, it can help you meet your mineral title and authorisation conditions when exploring on pastoral land.

It also explains:

how to meet land access requirements
what you need before you can start any activities including:
- all relevant approvals and
- necessary agreements
how to apply responsible land use practices
how to minimise environmental impacts
your rights and obligations while considering the landowner’s rights.
