| Summary Information: | |
The Kalkadoon / Matrix Metals Indigenous Land Use Agreement (the ILUA) allows the Queensland Government to grant mining leases to Matrix Metals. It initially covers four specified mining lease applications (MLAs 90137, 90141, 90135 and 90142) but extends to any number of mining leases (MLs) to be identified in the future that are in the area covered by mineral exploration permit EPM 9867 at the time the ILUA was signed. MLs may be renewed provided that the conditions of the ML have not changed since the initial grant. The ILUA sets out a negotiation process to be followed for the granting of any future mining leases that have different conditions. The process includes such steps as notification of any changes in the lease conditions in writing to the Kalkadoon People and provides them a 28 day response period.
The ILUA arose from negotiations that followed an application lodged by Matrix Metals to explore for minerals and to mine on 5516 square kilometres of land under a native title claim by the Kalkadoon People.
The benefits to the Kalkadoon People include cultural heritage protection for significant cultural sites in the area and employment and training opportunities in Matrix Metals mining operations. |
