Part B: Mineral Rights - Part B-5: Development Minerals - 29. Development Minerals | 29.5 Types of Rights Granted
This provision seeks to highlight all the development mineral rights and related rights that may be granted under the law. This can be done in different ways. A complete list in one provision of the mineral rights granted under the law clearly shows the mineral rights obtainable under the law. The mineral rights may also be listed according to categories determined in the law, i.e. exploration rights, exploitation rights, and processing rights, and trading rights.
