"content": "Hon. Chairlady, I support the provision that subject to sub- section (1), which says that a person who reports the discovery of any mineral shall be granted the first right of refusal to apply for a mineral right over the area of discovery. However, I see a problem here. Clause 8, which we have just passed, states that the Cabinet Secretary shall make regulations to provide for exploration, mining, processing and export of strategic minerals and strategic mineral deposits. I think that amendment should also include the procedure for reporting; if I report that I have discovered a particular mineral and the procedure of reporting is not clear, what if that reporting is not captured? How will my rights be safeguarded? I would plead with the Chair of the Committee that, even as we agree that is a good amendment, let us also include as part of the regulations a procedure for reporting the discovery of minerals, so that it can be captured in an official manner."
