Mining or Exploration Permit Application
In conjunction with Straterra we have prepared a simple guide to assist those required to apply for a mining or exploration permit. This will be required when your quarry is on crown land or contains crown owned minerals. Determining mineral ownership in any particular title or land holding is often not an easy task. It will, in many cases, be necessary to search back to the first alienation of the land from the Crown to establish whether or not the minerals continue to be held with the fee simple title, or had been reserved by the Crown, or had been excluded as a result of any subsequent transaction (such as a transfer or a Public Works Act acquisition). Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) has a list of Accredited Crown Property Suppliers that can undertake title searches to determine mineral ownership.
