Every person who was the holder of a licence which has terminated shall, not later than thirty days from the date of such termination —
fill in all excavations made in virtue of the licence or otherwise secure them in a permanent manner so as to prevent persons or stock inadvertently entering therein;
remove all beacons marking out the boundaries of the area the subject of the licence; and
furnish a certificate to the Governor that he has complied with this section as to the securing of excavations and the removal of beacons:
that no such person shall be liable for securing any excavations made on the area the subject of his licence by other persons prior to the grant of the licence if, on application for the licence, he has shown the position of these excavations in relation to the boundaries of the area applied for on the plans submitted with his application or if he submits a plan showing the position of such excavations in relation to the boundaries of the area the subject of the licence within a period of one month from the date of grant of such licence.
If any person contravenes subsection (1) the Governor may cause such excavations to be filled in or may take other protective measures and shall charge such person such sum as was reasonably expended in so doing, and such charge shall be a lawful deduction from any deposit made by such person:
that such action by the Governor and the payment of such charge by such person shall not exempt such person from liability under this or any other law for such contravention.
Where a licence is renewed in respect of a reduced area only, subsections (1) and (2) shall apply to the area not included in any such renewal.
