Current Exploration Licence polygons (including applications and exploration release areas) across Tasmania, with tenement information derived from the Tasmanian Information on Geoscience and Exploration Resources (TIGER) system; administered by Mineral Resources Tasmania (MRT), Department of State Growth. Exploration licence polygons delineate areas in which licence holders are permitted to explore for the listed categories of minerals: Category 1: metallic minerals and atomic substances; Category 2: coal, peat, lignite, oil shale and coal seam gas; Category 3: rock, stone, gravel, sand and clay used in construction, bricks and ceramics; Category 4: petroleum products except oil shale; Category 5: industrial minerals, precious stones, semi-precious stones; Category 6: any geothermal substance. Exploration licences may be granted over both Crown and private land, so long as that land falls under the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995. Mineral exploration activities may include: geological, geophysical and geochemical surveys, drilling, and taking samples of rock, soil, water or other substances for analysis. Mining is not an exploration activity and cannot occur on an exploration licence.
