Tenure, geoscience and constraints unified on one live map of WA, with every change tracked and the signals scored for you daily, so you spot the pressure and the openings before anyone else.
Free to start, no card needed. Built by a WA exploration geologist on official DMPE and GSWA data, refreshed daily.
Not ready yet? Get WA Mining Weekly, free, once a week.
Everything you need is public. Pulling it together is the job that eats your week.
Every deal, every parcel of ground released and releasing, and every new company entering WA, with the context that matters. One email a week, free.
Live and dead tenements, WAMEX, and the geoscience and constraint layers you would otherwise chase across a dozen portals. See everything on the WA mining map.
One click turns any tenement or area into a complete tenure pack: a written report, a structured due diligence workbook, and every spatial file, ready for the desk or the field.
The report is delivered as a polished PDF and Markdown; the due diligence workbook is an Excel file with every holder, dealing, expenditure year, rent payment, condition, native title referral and bond laid out tab by tab.
Regenerate any pack on demand. It rebuilds against the live register every time, so you always have an accurate launching-off point for annual reports, ASX announcements and board packs.
More on Tenure Packs & due diligence
For a tenement or a drawn area, NextMaps reads the historical WAMEX archive into a referenced prospectivity assessment: geological setting, mineralisation controls, past programs, the grades and anomalies, and clear next-step drill targets, every claim cited back to its A-number.
Miss the rent or a Form 5 and a title is liable to forfeiture. NextMaps reads the DMPE register every morning and turns it into one calendar for the titles you hold or manage. Nothing to type in except which titles are yours.
Derived from the WA register daily, and the Warden's Court cause list every fifteen minutes. Signals you can turn on over the map, on their own or layered together.
Colour the map by who really owns it: titles held through subsidiaries traced to their listed parent or major, over half the live register.
Play WA tenure changes forward and back over time, and watch grants, transfers and surrenders unfold across the state.
Holders under financial or legal pressure: forfeiture, overdue rent, severe underspend, expiring with no renewal.
Tenements with a matter listed in the Warden's Court: forfeiture applications, plaints, and ballots for contested ground.
Where supply is opening up, ground lapsing or being surrendered, before it is formally gazetted.
Actual spend versus the minimum obligation, so you can see who is underspending their commitment.
Plus Application Hotspots, Expiry Timeline, Recently Transferred, Ownership Age, Encumbered (mortgages and caveats), Forfeiture Notices, Conversion Pipeline, Pre-Drill Signal, Combined Reporting Groups, Exploration Intensity.
Explore Tenement Intelligence
Watch an area, a holder or a single tenement and let NextMaps tell you when ground changes hands or opens up.
List non-core ground while you still hold it. Once live, your listing is emailed to NextMaps' WA explorers, consultants and investors, with its WAMEX record attached. Sell outright or offer a JV or farm-in. Contact is free, with no lead fee.
ASTER mineral maps for regional alteration, our own EnMAP hyperspectral maps that resolve mineral species across WA at 30 m, and dated 10 m Sentinel-2 mosaics over the ground you are working. No downloading imagery or writing band ratios.
ASX-announcement-quality map images and PDFs, a live map locked to the view you choose and embedded on your own site, and any map view shared with colleagues in a click.
Spot open and dying ground early, get an AI prospectivity verdict and next steps from every historical report, and peg with the full history in hand.
The whole map in one place, a compliance calendar for every client's titles, and one-click due diligence and tenure packs to hand straight to clients.
See ground by ASX company, subsidiaries and all, watch distressed and transferred ground, and acquire on the marketplace.
NextMaps began as a cartography service, making the professional geological maps and figures that WA explorers put in front of their investors. But as an exploration geologist I kept hitting the same wall: hours lost stitching together government datasets just to peg my own ground and work out where the opportunity was. So I built the map I wanted, put the intelligence on top of it, and it grew from there.
That is still the test for every feature: would it have saved me a day in the field or a week at the desk. NextMaps reads the register, the WAMEX archive and the geoscience the way a geologist actually works, because one built it.
Everything GeoVIEW gives you, on a map that's actually fast to use. No card required.
The intelligence layer and the full working toolkit.
Everything in Premium, plus the heavy outputs uncapped and compliance on the titles you hold. For the explorer who holds ground and works it daily.
Those are the authoritative viewers, and you still need them: TENGRAPH is the only live source for freshly lodged applications, and you should always verify there first. NextMaps uses the same official DMPE tenure data as its base, then adds the layer they do not: daily monitoring and alerts, holder portfolio research, expenditure and distress intelligence, GIS-ready exports and AI prospectivity reports. Use TENGRAPH to check applications. Use NextMaps to monitor and understand everything that happens afterwards.
It is sourced from official WA Government datasets: the SLIP, DMPE and DASC spatial and register data, refreshed daily, plus the DMPE notification feeds, monitored continuously. NextMaps adds interpretation, intelligence and workflow tools on top. Two honest caveats: tenement boundaries on the map are rebuilt nightly from the DMPE download, so a freshly lodged application takes about a day to appear, which is why TENGRAPH stays the live source for those; and as with any derived data, you should verify against the primary source before you rely on it.
Enter any WA tenement or area and pick a target commodity, and within 10 to 20 minutes you get a full desk study synthesised from every WAMEX A-file covering that ground: a prospectivity assessment, the geological and work history, a compiled dataroom (drillhole collars, assays, geology logs and surface geochem), the original A-file PDFs, and register intelligence. It is grounded in the real historical record, not generic geology, and it is only as rich as the exploration history on file. It compresses the data gathering and first-pass synthesis; the judgement stays with you.
A set of signals derived from the official WA mining record and shown spatially: distressed tenements, matters before the Warden's Court, expenditure compliance, opportunity signals, ground release zones, application hotspots, expiry timelines and ownership or dealing changes. Most are recomputed daily from the register; the Warden's Court cause list is polled every fifteen minutes, because a forfeiture application or a ballot for contested ground can be listed and heard inside a week. The record has always held these signals; they were just buried across PDFs and disconnected systems. NextMaps surfaces the pressure, competition and opportunity on the map, often before it is obvious publicly.
Yes. The compliance manager (part of Pro) turns the DMPE register into a calendar for the titles you hold or manage: rent, Form 5, expenditure exemptions, technical reports, expiry and compulsory surrender, each with its due date and amount. It ticks items off when the register shows them done, emails reminders, and publishes a calendar feed for Outlook or Google. You can share a portfolio with a client or your team, and viewers are free. It is a second pair of eyes, not legal advice, so confirm anything that matters in MTO.
No. A free account (no card required) gives you the full map plus a few complete outputs so you can try the paid deliverables: a survey report, a focused commodity report and a Tenure Pack. That is three full outputs before you spend anything.
Each subscription is for one person, which is why Premium and Pro are priced per user. The things that make NextMaps useful are tied to your login: your email alerts land in your inbox, your watchlists are yours, and your AI report and pack allowances are counted against your account. Share one login across a team and it gets messy fast, with alerts going to one person, watchlists overwriting each other and the report quota gone in a week. The one exception is the Pro compliance manager: share a portfolio with your team or your title manager and they can view it free (editing needs their own Pro). If your team needs several seats, email [email protected] and we will sort out team access.
Yes, and deliberately. NextMaps goes deeper on WA tenure, geoscience and the WAMEX archive than a tool spread across every jurisdiction ever could. One lane, done properly, beats a thin map of everywhere.
