Tenement management is one of the most critical — and often underestimated — functions in the mining and exploration industry. It underpins compliance, continuity, and the long-term protection of your project assets. Yet many companies overlook the strategic value that expert tenement oversight brings, particularly when it comes to preventing problems before they arise.
So, should you manage your tenure internally… or entrust it to an external specialist?
Here’s a comparison to help guide the decision:
Internal Tenement Management
✔️ Direct control and in-house knowledge
✔️ Suitable for very small, stable portfolios
❌ Vulnerable to staff changes or availability issues
❌ Limited exposure to varied state legislation and systems
❌ Difficult to scale as projects expand
❌ Higher risk of overlooked deadlines, compliance gaps or unmitigated land access challenges.
External Tenement Management
✔️ Specialist expertise across all Australian jurisdictions
✔️ Reduced compliance risk with no single point of failure
✔️ Scalable support as your exploration footprint grows
✔️ More cost-effective than building, training, and retaining an internal team
✔️ Integrated assistance with reporting, approvals, land access, due diligence and more
✔️ Personalised service tailored to your operational style and project needs.
