As General Manager Exploration with LGL (Lihir Gold), I brought in Jay Evans-Wheeler and the TAS team to help simplify and clarify tenement holdings in Cote D’Ivoire during a period of rapid governmental and social change.

The TAS team was able to get on top of the situation quickly and effectively, allowing specific processes to be implemented and management decisions to be made in an environment that had previously been largely been opaque.

TAS Perth is delighted to welcome Tony Ly to the Team!

Tony comes to TAS with a wealth of knowledge and experience, having been previously acting in a Senior Tenement Manager position at McMahon’s Mining Title Services (MMTS).

Tony has an excellent all-round knowledge, including application processes in the Northern Territory, Victoria and New South Wales, and will be invaluable in assisting the rest of the Perth team to round out their knowledge of legislation for other states and territories.

Tony’s experience means he is able to bring new ideas to the table, and his adaptability means he has commenced to pick up TAS procedures in a snap!

Both TAS and Tony look forward to being of service to clients in the future!

TAS presentation to the Australian Institute of Geoscientists

On 15 November 2011, Jay Evans-Wheeler, Lawyer and Principal Consultant at TAS Legal, gave a presentation to the Australian Institute of Geoscientists entitled “Recent Developments in Private Land Access for Explorers in Queensland” which was very well received by all who attended.

The presentation focused on strategies to deal with the pitfalls and unintended consequences of the new private land access regime introduced in Queensland on 01 September 2011. The new requirements effectively prohibit entry to private land for any loosely defined “advanced” activities, without the negotiation and signing of a compensation agreement between the explorer and the land owner, which has caused a great deal of delay to the completion of regional exploration programmes just before the onset of the Queensland wet season.

The presentation examined the correct structure of a compensation agreement, the timelines involved for dispute resolution, and “tips and tricks” to speed up the process without causing additional administrative burdens.
