The permit was issued in Jun 04, renewed in 06 and will expire in 2011. The permit covers 89 properties.

It doesn’t say if any exploration has happened, I doubt it because it was renewed in 06. This might not be public information.

Apparently people can have a premit granted over their land and not be told about it because it is a blanket area that the permit is given for. So, i don’t know if the current owner knows about the permit.

The accompanying documents only say that mining cannot take place within 100m to a building and any land mined has to be put back as it was afterwards. It says nothing about building new buildings (our property is vacant land) or improving the land by planting trees, etc.
