Western Australia Historic Tenements
Expired Western Australia mining leases and claims, on old worked ground.
What it shows
Dead (non-current) mining tenements in Western Australia, from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety. This is a map of old workings, not current grants: where ground was once held and mined. It is curated to gold-relevant titles. Mining, gold and mineral leases, prospecting licences, mineral and alluvial claims and tailings are kept. Exploration licences, coal titles, water rights, surface-use areas and offshore titles are dropped, as they carry no prospecting signal. Tap a tenement for its old type, holder and dates. Old ground is worth a look but says nothing about who holds it today. Check current tenure before you detect.
