These functions centred on the regulation of mining on crown land. The Act created a new system of mining districts, provided for the appointment mining wardens, and authorised the establishment of a School of Mines and a mineralogical museum. A Mining Board of up to 11 members was established with responsibility for drafting regulations. Over the next few years the Department established Branches for, inter alia, Mining Surveyors, Occupation of Lands, and Sheep Inspectors. In 1891 the Department was replaced by the Department of Mines and Agriculture.
