| APLA works closely
with the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) to
provide information to meet the requirements to prospect in WA, and it
is essential that prospectors conform with the requirements. Prospecting
in Western Australia must be conducted in accordance with the Mining
Act 1978 and Regulations 1981. Breach will result in serious penalties
with illegal mining up to $100,000 and $10,000 per day. The
DMP Investigation and Enforcement Branch (IEB) is very active. APLA members actively support the IEB. |
