Mining Act 1978
) because:
(i) According to information/reports submitted to the Department by the holder of Exploration Licence 38/1114, no mineral exploration or any other related activities had been carried out on the licence during the relevant expenditure year;
(ii) The licensee had submitted insufficient information in relation to any planned future exploration on the licence or the raising of capital for that purpose; and
