MINERAL DEVELOPMENT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 19

Mining permissions.

19.(1) Where mines and minerals of any description are vested in the Ministry,
and any person

(a)desires to obtain permission to work minerals of that description in small
quantities by means of such mines or otherwise, and

(b)satisfies the Ministry that, on account of the small value or quantity of
the minerals which he desires to work, or the limited period for which he
desires to work them, or for any other reason, the permission required is of
minor importance and will not materially affect the deposit of minerals vested
in the Ministry,

(2) Every mining permission shall be in writing and shall be expressed and
shall operate to confer on the person to whom it is granted a right to work
mines and minerals of the description specified therein, but subject to such
restrictions as to the quantity of minerals to be worked and the duration of
working as may be so specified.

(3) A mining permission shall not operate to confer on the grantee thereof an
exclusive mining right in respect of the mines and minerals to which the
permission relates.
