Function / Content

This series consists of application files for mineral leases (ML) in District C, (McArthur River] (including Redbank, Borroloola, Woollogorang, Kilgour Gorge, Calvert Hills, Pandanus Creek, Mallapunyah Springs, Crystal Hills, Taylor's Spring) area in Northern Territory. The file cover has date application received, subject (name of mine or person names in application), dates for objection, hearing, recommended, approved or refused, gazetted, posted, application plotted, map number, if forfeited or withdrawn. Each file contains the application for a mining lease with a sketch of the area being applied for and measurements in chains, any objections received, whether the application is approved or not, certificate of exemption if applied for, if lease is being transferred then the transfer application and acknowledgement form, caveat and general correspondence. The Mines Branch, Head Office, was moved to Alice Springs during the Second World War and remained there during the period 1942-1953. A Darwin office of the Mines Branch operated during 1946-1953 and was then merged with the Mines Branch, Head Office, in 1953 when it was moved back from Alice Springs to Darwin. Multiple copies of documents were made. Consignment P1 is more extensive than consignment P2 but it is unclear which are the Head Office copies and which are those held in the region.
