Tivan (ASX:TVN) secured its second mineral exploration deed with the Central Land Council for the Aileron tenement located at the western portion of the Sandover project in the Northern Territory, and a sacred site clearance certificate covering proposed works at the tenement, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.

The documents provide clearance from traditional owners and native title holders to start ground-disturbing activities at Aileron, the filing said.

The company plans to start exploration activities in January, including a drilling campaign and geophysical program co-funded by the Northern Territory Government, according to the filing.
