(1) (a) - (j)
The attached schedule [see tabled paper....] details the mining tenements that have been granted since 1 September 2010 and which encroach onto the various Government endorsed existing and proposed reserves at Mount Manning. Since 1 September 2010 there has been no extension or renewal of terms granted in respect to mining tenement encroaching onto these areas. Any encroachment onto the areas of land listed in (1) (a) - (j) is incidental and due to the tenements having graticular block boundaries, whereas the boundaries to the listed land areas are not defined in the same manner.
