| Summary Information: | ||
| The Exploration Agreement is a template Future Act Agreement provided by the National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT). It is envisaged by the NNTT that these agreements will be used to assist Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to negotiate Future Act Agreements that can be tailored to their specific needs and circumstances. The Exploration Agreement is designed to be used for negotiations between a mining operations explorer ('explorer') and a native title representative body acting on behalf of Aboriginal Communities ('representative body'). The template agreement covers matters including: (a) the respective rights and responsibilities of the representative body and the explorer, including that the explorer will have guaranteed access to the agreement area; (b) identifying 'no go' areas; (c) stipulating the procedures the explorer will put in place to avoid environmental damage; (d) prescribing that the explorer will provide the Aboriginal Community with the opportunity to quote for work; and (e) the compensation payable to the Aboriginal Community. | ||
