139 Conversion of mineral claim to EL
(1) This regulation applies if the Minister converts a mineral claim or
mineral lease to an EL (the converted EL) after making a decision
under section 204(3)(a) of the Act.
(2) The converted EL is taken to have been in force for 6 years on the
day the Minister issues the EL under regulation 138(1) and, subject
to this Part, the Act and these Regulations apply accordingly.
(3) If the title area of the converted EL is within the title area of an EL
held by another person (the original EL):
(a) the title area of the converted EL is removed from the title area
of the original EL; and
(b) the Minister must vary the original EL accordingly and give the
title holder a notice of the variation.
(4) If a person holds 2 or more mineral claims or mineral leases with
adjoining boundaries, the Minister may issue one EL for the entire
area of land to which the mineral claims or mineral leases relate.
