  1. The Warden shall have the right to grant any mining privilege or easement in respect of the land comprised in a pastoral license under these regulations subject to compensation for improvements as provided for in the Mining Act, 1908.

For the purposes of this regulation and of Regulation No. 17 hereof, the area to be protected to the licensee around his dwelling shall be 50 acres: Provided, however, in all cases where the area which otherwise would be protected is not cultivated or substantially fenced, then so much only of the area as is substantially fenced or cultivated shall be protected.

  3. The Crown and the local authorities concerned shall have the right to survey and take all lands necessary for the construction of roads on the demised pastoral lands, and compensation only for the value of substantial improvements made by the licensee will be paid in case of land resumed for public purposes.

  4. For all land resumed for public or mining purposes a reduction, proportionate to the acreage resumed, shall be made on future annual rentals.

  5. Any license may be forfeited if payment of rental is not made within three months after the due date or if the licensee fails to effect substantial improvements as required by Regulation 10 hereof.

  6. All existing pack-tracks, whether surveyed or not, shall remain available for public use, and where the licensee’s fences run across the same a swing-gate must be provided to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Crown Lands.

  7. Every holder of a miner’s right shall have the right of ingress and egress over the whole area comprised in a pastoral license, excepting so much thereof as may be under cultivation and substantially fenced, as provided in Regulation No. 19 hereof.

  8. All water-rights are reserved to the Crown, but not so as to deprive the licensee’s stock of access to the water on his holding.

  9. The Commissioner of Crown Lands for the Land District of Nelson may, with the approval of the Warden and the Land Board, grant a license under these regulations over land held under a sawmill license granted by the Warden, or over land subject to a certificate of reservation as a timber area under the Mining Act, 1908, and the regulations made thereunder: Provided that the licensee shall not in any way interfere with or prejudice the holder of such sawmill license, or the holder of any timber-rights within a timber area, in the exercise of his rights and privileges in respect thereof, and that the said licensee shall have no right of action, claim, or demand in respect of any injury done or committed in the lawful exercise of those rights and privileges.
