Grouping your quartz claims allows you to work in 1 area without having to perform representation work on each claim separately. Work done on any claim in the group can be applied to all claims in the grouping for the purposes of renewing.
You can:
- include up to 750 adjoining claims; and
- group claims once per year.
Grouping claims does not change the amount of assessment work required.
Groupings must be recorded with the Mining Recorder’s Office before you file your work. Otherwise, the work will only apply to the claim on which it was performed.
Read the quartz grouping guidelines for more information.
