Payment of Mining Act fees and charges
Current mining tenement fees and charges are effective from 16 September 2024.
DEMIRS allows Mining Act fees and charges to be paid at:
- Customer Service Counters in Perth and regional offices via EFTPOS or credit card.
- Mineral Titles Online for:
- Ordering and paying for official tenement searches and data extracts.
- Paying mining tenement rentals.
- Lodging various Mining Act forms.
Accepted payment methods:
- Visa and Mastercard (with a transaction limit of $99,999).
Important: If a transaction exceeds $99,999, it will be rejected. This is crucial for applications like Exploration Licences, where priority in time depends on satisfying initial legislative requirements, including fee payment.
