This guide has been produced by Norton Rose Australia as part of
a series of in-depth mining guides covering a number of countries
including Indonesia and Mongolia. It addresses risks and
opportunities facing mining companies in Australia. It analyses the
main legal and commercial issues that a mining company is likely to
encounter, from initial exploration through to project development
and the operational phase.
Norton Rose Group is ideally placed to advise mining clients
throughout all phases of project development. We regularly advise
on a range of operational matters such as mining tenement
administration and acquisition, environment and planning law
compliance, mine safety, infrastructure development, and power,
water and other input supply arrangements. We have considerable
experience with project structuring and mining joint ventures, as
well as bulk commodity offtake and sales arrangements.
