Mining Act 1992

The regulations may provide for the following matters—

the circumstances in which a provision in this part will not apply to a mineral claim or a class of mineral claims,

the date on which a provision in this part will commence or cease to have effect in relation to a mineral claim or a class of mineral claims,

the date, not more than 5 years after the date the mineral claim purportedly took effect, that the term of an affected mineral claim or a class of affected mineral claims expires.

To avoid doubt, the power to make regulations under subclause (1) is in addition to the power to make regulations under this schedule, clause 1.

A regulation made under subclause (1) has effect despite anything to the contrary in this part.
