DENIS BLUNDELL, Governor-General
ORDER IN COUNCIL
At the Government Buildings at Wellington this 28th day of June 1976
Present:
THE RIGHT HON. R. D. MULDOON PRESIDING IN COUNCIL
WHEREAS, under the Mining Act 1971, Kanieri Gold Dredging Limited has made an application to the Minister of Mines for a mining licence over certain areas of land in Blocks VII and VIII, Waimea Survey District: whereas Passmore Stewart, the owner and occupier of part of the land in respect of which such application has been made, has failed to consent, in terms of section 35 of that Act, to the grant of the said mining licence: whereas the Minister of Mines has served a notice on Passmore Stewart requiring him, within a period of 6 months after the date of service to make arrangements satisfactory to the Minister to enable the land to become available for mining; whereas by virtue of section 37 (5) of that Act the Governor-General may, if he considers it to be in the national interest to do so, declare the land or any part of it in respect of which a notice as aforesaid has been served on the owner and occupier to be open for mining, as if it were Crown land.
And whereas the Minister of Mines has recommended that, because arrangements satisfactory to him have not been made, the Governor-General should declare part of Passmore Stewart's land to be open for mining as if it were Crown land.

Now, therefore, His Excellency the Governor-General, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council, hereby declares the land, described in the Schedule hereto, to be open for mining as if it were Crown land.
