Guidelines for the submission and delivery of mineral drillcore

Guidance
The purpose of these guidelines is to detail the processes and standards required for the submission of mineral drill core to the 91¶ÌÊÓÆµn Core Libraries.
Last updated:

The 91¶ÌÊÓÆµn Core Libraries provide a valuable reference archive and modern viewing  amenities for drill core that has been acquired during mineral and petroleum exploration programs in 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ. The core libraries in Perth and Kalgoorlie are managed and operated by the Geological Survey of 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ (GSWA). This valuable asset enables explorers to view and gather information from the core prior to conducting their exploration programs, thus assisting more effective exploration and enhancing the chance of technical success.

Under the Mining Act (1978) and Mining Regulations (1981), Regulation 96D, the Minister for Mines may request drill core from mineral tenement holders in 91¶ÌÊÓÆµ.

Mineral drill core that is considered to be of geological significance to the exploration industry will be archived in the WA Core Libraries.
