SACOME's Exploration Committee
The SACOME Exploration Committee meets quarterly and is Chaired by Jamie Love (Royal Resources). The Exploration Committee is made up of representatives from large and small exploration and mining companies. The Committee is one of the main policy setting forums in SACOME and offers members the chance to raise issues that are important to them. Some of the issues raised for attention include land access (including Woomera and the Northern Flinders Ranges), Mining Act Amendments and infrastructure needs, especially the need for a bulk commodities deep water port.
Any industry member of SACOME can raise issues with the Exploration Committee. Please contact Jonathon Forbes, Director – Industry Development, SACOME on: 08 8202 9999 or email:

Code of Conduct for Explorers
SACOME has taken the lead in producing a voluntary Code of Conduct for companies accessing rural land for exploration purposes. The Code is designed to foster good relations between farmers and explorers by providing a framework for access to rural land. This is based on understanding and sensitivity by explorers that they are ‘guests’ on private land and appreciation by farmers of the needs and rights of explorers. Representatives of SACOME have met with the SA Farmers’ Federation and PIRSA MER staff and after consultation have produced a voluntary 'Code of Conduct for Landholders and Mineral & Energy Explorers'.
