An Act to amend the Mining Act 1926
BE IT ENACTED by the General Assembly of New Zealand in Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Short Title
This Act may be cited as the Mining Amendment Act 1963, and shall be read together with and deemed part of the Mining Act 1926 (hereinafter referred to as the principal Act).
2 Jurisdiction of Warden where minerals reserved to Crown
Section 58 of the principal Act is hereby amended by adding, as subsections (2) and (3), the following subsections:
“(2)
Where gold or minerals on or under any land are reserved to the Crown, whether pursuant to any enactment or otherwise, the Warden shall have jurisdiction and shall be deemed always to have had jurisdiction under this section to grant mining privileges to the owner of the land or to any other person with the consent of the owner and occupier (if any), notwithstanding the existence of any such reservation.
“(3)
All rents, royalties, and licence fees payable in respect of any mining privilege granted in any case to which subsection (2) of this section applies shall be payable to the Crown and dealt with as if they were royalties or other money payable in respect of a mineral licence to occupy Crown land, or, as the case may require, as if they were goldfields revenue, and the provisions of section 60 of this Act shall have no application in any such case.”
This Act is administered in the Mines Department.
