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.

Our unique global footprint enables us to act for mining entities on initial capital raisings on the most popular bourses including ASX, TSX and TSX-V through to development and project financing, commercial production and main board listings.

As demonstrated by this briefing, our global mining team combines international experience and best practice with a thorough understanding of doing business in Australia to enable us to facilitate Australian mining entities and their stakeholders in maximising value from their mining projects.
