So a mining company has to deal with State govts over mineral rights, and other issues, the Federal government often gets involved, generally on taxes, and then there's land owners, or pastoralists with leaseholds, traditional owners, etc etc. When I worked in mining exploration, one of our jokes was, we wanted to find several billion dollars worth of copper, gold and uranium in one large deposit, all smack under the intersecting point of three State governments & sit back and watch a huge squabble between all the stakeholders
