Landowners and the broader Victorian community will gain greater awareness of the importance and low impact of minerals exploration through a short video released today by MCA Victoria.
Shot in the Ballarat and Bendigo regions, Minerals Exploration in Victoria includes footage and information on exploration drill rigs and other exploration activities that take place on public and private land.
The video complements the MCA and Victorian Farmers Federation Land Use Guide which provides information to private landholders on rights and obligations of explorers and landowners and advice on negotiating land access.
The video outlines minerals exploration techniques including desktop research to drilling and core analysis explained by staff from exploration companies.
It will be a useful resource for explorers in their interactions with landowners to support the continued growth of mineral exploration in regional Victoria and the ongoing job opportunities for regional communities.
