89 Geological samples
(1) For section 93 of the Act, the holder of an EL, ELR or EMEL must
store geological samples in a way that protects them from damage
or deterioration until the title holder:
(a) disposes of the samples with the Minister's consent; or
(b) gives the samples to the Minister.
(2) After considering a notice of the recovery of a geological sample
given under section 93(1) of the Act, the Minister may consent to
the disposal of the sample.
(3) For section 93(3) of the Act, a title holder must give the Minister a
remaining sample as soon as practicable after:
(a) if the title is surrendered or ceases to be in force for all of the
title area – the date on which the surrender or cessation takes
effect; or
(b) if the title area is surrendered or ceases to be in force for a
part of the area that includes the place where the remaining
sample was recovered – the date on which the surrender or
cessation takes effect; or
(c) for an EL or ELR under which work described in an annual
report ceases to be carried out – the date on which the work
ceases.
(4) The remaining sample must be given with the approved form.
