MINING ACT 1971 - SECT 24

24—Registration of claim

        (1)         Subject to this Act, a mining registrar will register a mineral claim if due application has been made for the claim under this Act (including by the applicant complying with any requirement under section 21).

        (2)         A mining registrar must not register a mineral claim if satisfied that—

            (a)         the registration relates to land that is the subject (in whole or in part) of an application that has been lodged for an exploration licence; and

            (b)         the application for the exploration licence was lodged before the claim was identified for the purposes of this Act; and

            (c)         the application for the exploration licence has not been refused.

        (3)         Subsection (2) does not apply if the mineral claim is solely for extractive minerals.

        (4)         A mining registrar must not register a mineral claim if to do so would be inconsistent with an order of the Warden's Court and if the registration of a mineral claim is subsequently inconsistent with the terms of an order of the Warden's Court then the registration must be cancelled.

        (5)         This section operates subject to the operation of section 80.

        (6)         If a mineral claim is registered under this section, the location and area of the claim will be determined according to the coordinates specified in the plan accepted for the purposes of registration under section 21.

        (7)         Without limiting any other provision or law, a mining registrar may cancel the registration of a mineral claim on a ground prescribed by the regulations.
