A mining lease may be granted for such term, not being more than twenty-five years, as the Governor may think fit:
when permission to mine on the area is granted under section 32 pending the grant of the lease, such term shall commence from the date of such permission being given.
If, at the expiration of the term originally granted by a mining lease or any renewal thereof, the lessee is carrying on work in a normal and businesslike manner, and the lease is not, at that time, liable to be revoked under this Law, and the lessee applies to the Governor in the prescribed manner for a renewal of his lease, then the lessee shall be entitled on payment of the prescribed fee to obtain a renewal of the lease for a further term not exceeding twenty-five years upon the conditions which are then generally applicable to new mining leases; but shall not have the right to any subsequent further renewal of the lease.
