WA invests more in exploration

The Western Australian government will provide a further A$5.26-million in funding towards round 15 of its co-funded exploration drilling programme, as part of its Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). Mines and Petroleum Minister Bill Johnston said this week that 43 recipients would be included in Round 15 of the EIS, with projects planned to be drilled in the 2017/18 financial year.
