A Queensland farmer says he will lock his gates today if a mining exploration company tried to enter his land.
Keith Jessen, from the South Burnett region in Southern Queensland told the ABC he had originally given permission for Queensland Bauxite to enter his property to take soil samples, because he didn’t know he had a choice.
He now says that after seeking advice, he will not allow the company onto his land in Coolabunia, south –east of Coolabunia.
"There's no use them drilling when I don't want them mining," he told the ABC.
