| Summary Information: | |
The Giants Reef Exploration Pty Ltd Indigenous Land Use Agreement (the ILUA) is between Giants Reef Exploration company and the native title holders of the Phillip Creek and Tennant Creek pastoral leases in the Northern Territory.
The ILUA enables the grant of mining, exploration and related tenements on the land for 25 years. It covers more than 52 exploration licence applications, five mineral leases and includes all associated activities such as use of water resources for ore treatment and construction and operation of any pipeline and equipment associated with the exploration and mining. The ILUA means that the company will be able to get an unlimited number of tenements within the ILUA area readily granted in the future. In return, the ILUA acknowledges native title rights, will provide employment, training, sacred site protection, and rehabilitation of the environment.
Without this ILUA, the grant of the tenements may have attracted the right to negotiate and been subject to the future act provisions of the Native Title Act 1993 (Cth) or have been granted invalidly.
The ILUA sets out a notification and negotiation process to extend and amend the term of the agreement, at the choice of the parties. |
