Renewal (Vic)

A renewal application should be made on the department’s application for renewal form and must be accompanied by the relevant fee for:

• Exploration Licence
• Mining Licence
• Retention Licence

The renewal application should be lodged before the licence expires. If an application for renewal is received before the licence expires, the licence continues in operation until the renewal is granted and registered, or refused.

When applying for a renewal of a Mining Licence, you must either be mining or have mined and will recommence mining or submit a mineralisation report with the application.

For Exploration Licences, the application must also include a program of work that describes the geological rationale behind the work program and should be focused on target testing and resource delineation as outlined in the exploration licence renewal application. The program of work submitted with the licence renewal application describing the work which will be undertaken must be completed and can only be varied with agreement of the Minister.
