WA GOLD Geologist

WARNING to all prospective lease owners. A geo mate has just updated me... the cost of pe***ng a 200ha lease in WA is now $900 rent, $450 Application cost, $5,000 Heritage agreement plus $5,000 per year for access and some $50,000-$120,000 for a site survey, probably about $20,000 for a baseline flora and fauna study, all before you can drill a hole! So if you want to explore, look at about $150,000 before you can strike a blow, and if the DBCA and EPA or DLPH or DWER get involved, make it 2 to 4 years!

Remember this before you get a lease!

Published 1935 but still useful. Unfortunately there has been no big leaps in technology for processing small miners ore.https://blog.perthmint.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Hints.pdf
