Disposition versions
83.7. (Repealed).
83.7. The holder of a licence to explore for surface mineral substances that relates to a territory all or part of which is also subject to a claim or mining exploration licence held by the same holder may, in accordance with section 139, abandon the rights held over the territory also subject to the claim or mining exploration licence and request that the excess amount disbursed for work performed on the territory subject to the licence to explore for surface mineral substances, or part of that excess amount, be applied to the terms for which the claim is renewed or to subsequent terms of the mining exploration licence.
Where all or part of the territory subject to the licence to explore for surface mineral substances is also subject to more than one claim or more than one mining exploration licence, the excess amount disbursed or the part of that excess amount shall be apportioned among them in proportion to their respective area.
Upon the abandonment of the rights held by the holder of the licence to explore for surface mineral substances over the part of the territory that is also subject to a claim or mining exploration licence, any licence to explore for surface mineral substances over the remaining part of the territory that is subject to no claim or mining exploration licence may be converted on application into one or more map designated claims in accordance with section 83.6.
