Disposition versions
42.1. Every exclusive exploration right obtained by map designation or by conversion of a mining right into a map designated exclusive exploration right pursuant to subdivision 5 of this division must cover the entire area of a parcel of land determined by the Minister and registered in the public register of real and immovable mining rights or, where applicable, only the area of the parcel of land that is open to map designation in accordance with this Act.
However, where a map designated exclusive exploration right has been obtained by the conversion of a mining right, the holder of an exclusive exploration right may, within 60 days from the date of issue of the certificate of registration of the exclusive exploration right, refuse the inclusion of any part of the parcel of land subject to the exclusive exploration right that exceeds the area subject to the converted mining right if the inclusion of the excess portion would impose new requirements on the holder of an exclusive exploration right by reason of the application of section 231.
