Minnesota Administrative Rules

6125.6500 PROSPECTING.

The work of prospecting shall be commenced in a substantial manner within 90 days from the date upon which the permit is executed, unless, in the opinion of the commissioner, either water, ice, or other conditions beyond control of permittee make such work hazardous or impracticable, and shall continue until the term of the permit expires, is surrendered, or a lease demanded. No prospecting work as herein required shall be postponed or suspended, except upon written authority of the commissioner or the commissioner's duly authorized representative.

The commissioner or the commissioner's representative shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the work done under the permit or the lease issued pursuant thereto, and carry on such engineering and sampling work as the commissioner may wish to do, not unnecessarily or unreasonably interfering with the work of the permittee or lessee.
