South Australia is acknowledged as one of the world's best regulated mineral resources jurisdictions
Mineral resources regulation reports
The South Australia mineral resources regulation reports summarise the regulatory activities of the South Australian Government's Mineral Resources Division and the performance of the South Australian Mining Industry.
The reports align with regulatory practices set out in Exploration and mining regulation, which recognises the need for predictable regulatory processes to provide confidence for the mining sector to commit to higher risks for investment in new mineral exploration, mine developments and life of mine operations.
The South Australian Government recognises that these reports satisfy key features of its regulatory framework by providing transparency of its regulatory services to the South Australian mining industry, community and other stakeholders. These reports will contribute to providing community confidence and trust in the regulator, the industry's overall performance and a demonstrated commitment by exploration and mining companies to best practice management.
