Due Diligence & Buyer Guide
Purchasing an alluvial mining lease is a significant decision. The checklist below is a starting point only — every transaction differs. You should always engage qualified professionals.
Tenement verification
- Confirm lease number, holder, expiry and conditions with the relevant state mining department.
- Check for any encumbrances, caveats or compliance notices on the title.
Geological & historical review
- Review historical workings, production records and any published reports.
- Engage an independent geologist for sampling or technical review where needed.
Access & native title
- Confirm access agreements, road status and any Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUAs).
- Identify pastoral lease overlays and landholder access requirements.
Environmental & rehabilitation
- Understand the environmental authority conditions and rehabilitation bond status.
- Review any environmental incidents or notices.
Equipment & infrastructure
- Verify ownership of any included plant, sheds or processing equipment.
- Inspect physical assets — do not rely on photos alone.
Commercial & legal
- Engage your own legal and accounting advisors before signing.
- Use a written sale or JV agreement reviewed by appropriately qualified professionals.
