Despite subsection (1) , the geothermal tenure holder is not required to keep a core sample (the new sample ) for a geothermal well drilled under the tenure if, on written application by the holder, the chief executive exempts the holder from having to keep the new sample because— the holder has previously given the chief executive all or part of a core sample (the previous sample ) from the same geothermal well or another geothermal well drilling the same geothermal reservoir; and the new sample has similar properties to the previous sample.
