MINING ACT 1971 - SECT 83

83—Dealing with licences

        (1)         A lease or licence, or an interest in a lease or licence, under this Act shall not be assigned, transferred, mortgaged, sublet, or made the subject of any trust or other dealing, whether directly or indirectly, without the consent in writing of the Minister, and any such transaction entered into without that consent shall be void.

        (2)         If a lease or licence is subject to a mortgage or charge, the Minister must not consent to the transfer or assignment of the lease or licence unless or until the Minister has taken reasonable steps to give notice of the proposed consent to the person in whose favour the mortgage or charge has been made (unless that person has also consented to the transfer or assignment).

        (3)         The Minister may, before consenting to a transaction subject to the provisions of this section, require the parties to furnish him with such information in relation to the transaction as he may require.

        (4)         An application for the consent of the Minister under this section shall be accompanied by the prescribed fee.
