Exploration and mining operations audit results 

The Mining Act Inspectorate undertakes compliance audits of mining operations and exploration activities to assess whether title holders are meeting their requirements under the Mining Act 1992.

Where non-compliance is identified, enforcement action may be taken in accordance with the Regulator's compliance and enforcement approach. Audit reports may also identify opportunities for improvement to strengthen compliance management activities.

Audit reports recently published on our website include:

  • EL8735-Colossus-Metals-Pty-Ltd
  • EL5922-LFB Resources Pty Ltd
  • Mount Thorley Warkworth Mine
  • New Berrima Quarry, The Austral Brick Company
  • Marrangaroo Quarry, Metromix Pty Ltd

 We will also publish summarised findings of the audits completed between July 2021 and December 2022 soon.
