insert--
'(1) To remove any doubt, it is declared that the right of a permit holder under section 35 includes the right of the holder or an authorised person for the permit to take samples of materials from any part of the area of the permit in which geothermal exploration may, under section 35, be carried out.
'(2) However, subsection (1) applies only to the extent that the taking of the samples is necessary for geothermal exploration in the area of the permit.
'Subject to section 107, 10 samples of materials necessarily taken for geothermal exploration by a permit holder or an authorised person for the permit in compliance with this Act become the property of the permit holder when they are taken.'.
