Royalties

A royalty is the amount charged for the transfer of the right to extract a mineral resource. Royalties are paid by the holder of the petroleum title or holder of the mining lease or sub-lease.

We are responsible for collecting and auditing royalties according to the Mining Act 1992 and the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991

A royalty is the amount charged for the transfer of the right to extract a mineral resource. It may be a coal royalty, mineral (non-coal) royalty or petroleum royalty. It is paid by the holder of the petroleum title or holder of the mining lease or sub-lease.

Non-royalty payments – rental, licence and publication fees – are made to the Department of Regional NSW.
