re: Ann: Change of Director's Interest No... This WA government site might help understand what is involved

Exploration and mining titles in Western Australia are granted in accordance with the Mining Act 1978 (WA). The Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) administers this Act.

Mineral exploration and mining activities are administered under the Act for onshore areas, and for offshore areas to a limit of (nominally) three nautical miles from the coast. There are a number of types of tenement, including prospecting licences, exploration, retention and miscellaneous licences, and mining and general purpose leases.
