(2) (a) Approximately 460 applications for exploration licences; approximately 300 applications for mining leases. (b) Approximately 1 220 applications for exploration licences; approximately 3 500 applications for mining leases. (c) Currently there are some 200 applications for exploration licences in the four-month section 29 advertising period. In addition, there are approximately 200 applications for exploration licences with the National Native Title Tribunal to determine objections to the expedited procedure. There are 38 applications for mining leases in the four-month section 29 advertising period. (d) 817 applications for exploration licences; 1 354 applications for mining leases. (e) 87 applications for exploration licences; 169 applications for mining leases. (f) Nil applications for exploration licences; 23 applications for mining leases. (3) There were 260 pending applications subject to negotiation or mediation as at 31 October 2000. (4) The Department of Minerals and Energy employs a senior case manager, five case managers and two assistant case managers to participate in negotiations.
