A recent Supreme Court decision deals with the inter-relationship between Ministers for the Environment and Ministers for Mining when dealing with mining in national parks. Although the case centres on the wording of the particular proclamation it may mirror similar proclamations for other national parks that attempt to preserve the rights of existing miners and explorers (possibly to avoid compensation claims) and limit the rights of future explorers. In Manna Hill Resources Pty Ltd & Or v State of South Australia (No.2) [2001] SASC 382, Gray J of the Supreme Court of South Australia, refused to overturn the decision of the Minister for the Environment and Heritage not to allow the transfer of mining leases from BHP to Manna Hill ("the Mining Leases").
