2. The newly-discovered gold field, if in alluvial ground, must be situated not less than ten miles from the nearest alluvial gold workings, or, if in quartz, not less than five miles from the nearest existing quartz mines.

3. No grant will be paid upon any application until it shall have been proved that not less than 20,000 ounces of gold have been extracted from the new gold field within two years from the registration of the discovery, if in alluvial workings, and, if in quartz workings, proof of a similar yield from this source within three years from such registration will be required.

4. Any person discovering new gold workings, and being desirous of obtaining a reward, shall immediately forward a written report of such discovery, with full particulars, to the Warden or Resident Magistrate of the district within which such discovery shall be situated, and the Warden or Resident Magistrate shall forthwith register the report as an application for reward.

5. No prospecting is allowed upon Native land without the approval in writing of the Native Minister, or of some one appointed by him in that behalf.

Prospectors going upon Native land without the consent of the owners are liable to the penalties imposed by the Acts relating to gold fields, and will forfeit all claim to reward.
