This mineral promotional brochure reviews significant historical developments in South Australia's mineral industry and canvasses the currently recognised mineral potential within the State, for the benefit of local and overseas interested companies and individuals. The booklet describes the innovative approach, scope and early achievements of the government-led South Australian Exploration Initiative program, and summarises pertinent aspects of mineral tenement administration, royalty and taxation considerations and land access issues as they may affect newcomers to the local exploration scene. The report also discusses the government's recent mineral data management initiatives, and highlights the range of mineral-orientated advisory, technical and information services available to explorers, miners and the general public.
