Amendment of application after survey of contiguous land
6 Amendment of application after survey of contiguous land
This section applies if—
an application for a mining claim (the application) is over land that is contiguous to affected land; and
at the time the application was made, a survey of the affected land had not been completed; and
the chief executive gives the applicant a notice (the notice) stating—
a survey of the affected land has been completed; and
all survey marks defining the boundary of the affected land have been placed.
To ensure the application is still over land that is contiguous to affected land, the applicant may—

amend the application to ensure the boundary of the area of the proposed mining claim is defined.
Note—
For defining the boundary of a proposed mining tenement, see section 386R of the Act.
An amendment under subsection (2) must be made within—
14 days after the day the chief executive gives the applicant the notice; or
if the chief executive approves a longer period—the longer period.
Nothing in this section authorises or entitles the applicant to have the affected land surveyed.
