T enements are colour coded by company association or g eneral g roups (desig nated ‘O th er’). S ources usedto determine th at a tenement is targ eting iron ore (and/or oth er minerals) include iron ore S tate Ag reement Acts,auth orization to explore for iron ore g ranted or applied for under S ection 111 of th e Mining Act 1978, tenement record files,and company public announcements. T h is includes tenements at th e application stag e. Inclusion of such tenements h eredoes not imply th at th e tenement applications w ill be g ranted or th at iron ore auth orization under S ection 111 w ill be g ranted.O th er tenements (sh ow n in g rey) may also be prospectiv e for iron ore. Colour-coded iron ore tenements may also beprospectiv e for oth er minerals.

Miscellaneous Licences h av e been plotted, but not g iv en th eir specific company colour coding ; th e colour coding of th eunderlying tenements are sh ow n instead.

T h e tenement layer consists of many tenements (both g ranted and pending applications) th at ov erlap in time andspace w ith complex relationsh ips. How ev er, th e tenements are depicted as if th ey form a 2D layer.Care sh ould be taken w h en interpreting th e colour-coded tenements and, w h ere necessary, furth er details sh ould beobtained from th e companion dig ital product or from DMP 's online mining tenement database, TEN G RAP H.
