Full text
142. The Minister shall grant a lease in respect of a given parcel of land to any person who meets the requirements and pays the rental prescribed by regulation.
Notwithstanding the first paragraph, no non-exclusive lease shall be granted, except to the State, where the land concerned is subject to a mining lease, a mining concession, an exclusive lease to mine surface mineral substances or, subject to the fourth paragraph, an application for such an exclusive lease, held or made by a third person.
No exclusive lease is granted if the parcel of land concerned is subject to a mining lease, a mining concession or an exclusive lease to mine surface mineral substances in favour of a third person or if an application for a mining lease has been filed in favour of a third person. Nor is such a lease granted if the parcel of land concerned is subject to a claim in favour of a third person, unless the lease applied for is only to mine a surface mineral substance referred to in paragraph 2 of section 64 and excluded from the exclusive right to explore for mineral substances granted to the holder under the claim.
The Minister may refuse an application for an exclusive lease where he considers it necessary to reserve the land in order to guarantee the supply required for the carrying out of a non-exclusive lease already granted or other non-exclusive leases which may be granted subsequently.
