(1)  applies for renewal before the date of expiry of the lease;
(2)  has paid the rental prescribed by regulation;
(3)  has complied with this Act and the regulations throughout the term that is ending and, in particular, has made the reports required under section 155;

However, the lease may not be renewed if, during the term of the preceding lease, the land concerned was subject to a mining lease in favour of a third person.
The Minister may extend the lease following the last renewal for one-year periods.
