A mining company wants to explore Nick's farm for rare earth elements — but he's worried about what would happen to his farm if exploration turns into actual digging.
Private land is available for exploration in Tasmania, provided certain protocols are followed.
ABx Group's CEO says to farm owners exploration results in "very minimal disturbance" and "after we've finished, you won't even know they were there". "Some farmers just don't want anything to do with it because they've had so much disruption to their farm over the years they just don't want any more, and some are quite happy to have those people come on and doing the exploration."The TFGA is working with farmers to develop a code of practice for dealing with farmers.
"When we've got the whole of the north-east, the majority of the Tarkine, and many places in the north now covered in exploration licences, this is a huge potential impact on areas that have been independently verified as high-biodiversity," Dr Woodruff said.
