A Mining Proposal Scoping Document provides a framework for the department of the Mining Proposal’s key aspects, to delineate regulatory agency responsibilities, and to identify issues that can be addressed prior to submission.
The purpose of a Mining Proposal Scoping Document (MPSD) is to:
- provide a framework for pre-consultation with DEMIRS to discuss the scope and key aspects of the mining proposal;
- delineate regulatory agency responsibilities; and
- identify issues that are to be addressed prior to submission of the mining proposal and/or required studies/work that need to be carried out.
This document is provided for further guidance to proponents intending to submit Mining Proposals and is not a statutory document for approval.
