Aureka: building relationships for sustainable exploration

CASE STUDY · AUREKA · VICTORIAN GOLD EXPLORATION

Strong landholder relationships are central to sustainable exploration. Tesbury Consulting Services has supported Aureka through practical engagement with landowners and communities.

The challenge

Past experiences can shape how landholders respond to exploration. Building confidence requires listening, clear information and consistent communication about proposed activities.

Our role

Adam Place works as an intermediary between Aureka and landholders, helping parties understand each other’s priorities. This includes discussing concerns, explaining low-impact exploration and keeping landholders informed when activities change.

The reported outcome

In an Australian Mining feature, Aureka managing director James Gurry described stronger stakeholder relationships and sustainable land access achieved through working with Tesbury and JLL Real Estate. Adam was interviewed about the importance of listening and maintaining communication over time.
