Questions we are often asked by clients.
Straight answers to common queries about our minerals reports, data sources and delivery.
What is non-coal mining risk?
Non-coal mining includes historic and current extraction of minerals such as metals, stone, gypsum, salt and clay. These activities can create ground stability, subsidence or liability risks that are often not covered by coal searches.
Is non-coal mining covered by a coal search?
No. Coal searches only address coal mining. Non-coal mining sits outside the Coal Authority regime and requires separate consideration where relevant.
When should a non-coal minerals report be considered?
Where a property is located in, or near, areas known for historic or current non-coal mining, or where ground conditions raise questions, additional minerals due diligence should be considered. PinPoint Minerals Screening Reports identify these locations.
What does PinPoint Minerals help me decide?
It helps conveyancers understand whether non-coal mining activity may be relevant to the property and whether further investigation or advice is needed.
