26. The conversion into map designated claims of claims obtained by staking and held on parcels of land situated in a territory referred to in section 83.2 of the Act has the effect of extinguishing all the immovable real rights affecting those claims, unless the instruments evidencing immovable real rights, have been subject to an amendment to take into account the conversion and, at the time of conversion, to an entry in the public register of real and immovable mining rights, with reference to the claims converted into map designated claims.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion of the claims into map designated claims referred to in the first paragraph does not of itself extinguish the personal rights that the holders of the rights had on those claims or affect or restrain their recourse against the holder of claims that would have converted them; in such a case, however, no instrument entered in the public register of real and immovable mining rights, prior to conversion, may be set up against the State, unless the instruments evidencing the personal rights have been amended to take into account the conversion and entered in the public register of real and immovable mining rights, with reference to the claims converted into map designated claims.
