The Governor may revoke a mining lease —
if the holder, or any attorney, agent or employee of the holder commits any contravention of this Law, or of any requirements thereunder, or of any conditions of the lease, and does not repair such contravention within such period, not being less than one month, as the Governor may allow from the date of the receipt by the holder of a notice in writing from the Governor so to do or such extended period as the Governor may think fit; or
if the holder wholly ceases work in, on or under the land the subject of the lease during a continuous period of six months, without the written consent of the Governor:
such consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
Such revocation shall not affect any liability already incurred by the holder.
Where the Governor has revoked a mining lease under subsection (1), notice of such fact shall be gazetted and a copy of such notice shall be sent to the holder at his last known address.
