Call for Nominations
Calls for Nominations, although not required by law, are generally issued for periods ranging from one to three months. This gives industry the opportunity to identify blocks of land it would like to see posted for bidding. All nominations received through this process are given full consideration for inclusion in a succeeding Call for Bids. There is a maximum size limit for blocks tailored to the exploration maturity of the region of the Call. Block size (and the term of the exploration licence) are designed to allow for the mounting of a comprehensive exploration program with the potential to identify a choice of drilling targets with the exploration licence.
