The Act provides for the assessment, development and utilisation of mineral resources to the maximum extent practicable consistent with sound economic and land use management. The principal objectives of the Act are: (a)encourage and facilitate prospecting and exploring for and mining of minerals; (b)enhance knowledge of the mineral resources of the State; (c)minimize land use conflict with respect to prospecting, exploring and mining; (d)encourage environmental responsibility in prospecting, exploring and mining; (e)ensure an appropriate financial return to the State from mining; (f)provide an administrative framework to expedite and regulate prospecting and exploring for and mining of minerals; (g)encourage responsible land care management in prospecting, exploring and mining.The grant of an exploration permit, is undertaken with these objectives in mind so as to encourage and ensure performance oriented and competent exploration and development.3申请勘探权程序的问与答指南申请勘探权程序的问与答指南法案是做什么的？法案是做什么的？ 该法案是为了矿产资源的评估、发展以及利用能与经济和土地使用管理相一致 提供了最大程度的参与性。该法案的主要目标是： (a) 鼓励和促进矿物普查、勘探和开采；(b)增强对州矿床资源的认识；(c)减少普查、勘探和开采与土地使用的冲突；(d)鼓励普查、勘探和开采时的环保责任；(e)确保州政府从采矿中得到一定的资金回报；(f)为加快和规范矿物普查、勘探和开采提供管理框架；(g)鼓励在普查、勘探和开采中负责对土地护理管理一个勘探权的授予需要考虑是否符合这些目标，以鼓励和确保工作导向以及能 胜任勘探和开发。该法案可在以下网页上进行查询： http:/www.legislation.qld.gov.au/LEGISLTN/CURRENT/M/MineralReA89.pdf. What does an Exploration Permit entitle me to do? An exploration permit allows you to undertake a range of bona-fide exploration activities. Activities include geophysical surveys, field mapping, surface sampling, costeaning and drilling (but does not include drilling for water). Bulk sampling requires specific approval and is usually only allowable under a Mineral Development Licence. Production and sale of mineral (mining) is not permitted.An exploration permit for minerals also entitles you to explore for the existence of uranium however, you should be aware that it is a policy of this Government that it will not grant mining tenure for the purpose of mining uranium in Queensland. Nor will it permit the treatment or processing of uranium in the State.勘探证能赋予我什么？勘探证能赋予我什么？ 勘探证允许你开展一定范围的勘探活动。活动包括地球物理测量、野外填图、 地表采样、consteaning 和钻探（但不包括钻井取水）。大容量的采样需要获 得特别的批准，通常仅允许持有矿物开发许可证的进行大容量采样。不允许矿 产品生产和销售。勘探证同样允许你对铀进行勘探，但需要注意的是，目前昆士兰州政府不会颁 发以采铀矿为目的的采矿证，也不允许在该州进行铀矿的处理和加工。Where in Queensland can I explore?Nearly 95 percent of land in Queensland is available for exploration and mining. Legislation prohibits exploration and mining in national parks, world heritage listed areas and in some Restricted Areas (as defined in the Mineral Resources Regulation 2003).
