11 AAC 86.309. Showing of discovery

(a) The director will, in his or her discretion, at any time, require a showing of discovery for each mining claim or leasehold location included within a leasehold or listed in a lease application.

(b) The showing of discovery required of a lessee must relate to the discovery originally sworn to in the application for a lease. However, the showing may be supported with subsequently acquired data.

(c) The statement of discovery sworn to in a lease application is not confidential, but any supplemental geological, geophysical, or engineering data supplied in support of a showing of discovery will, upon the lessee's request, be kept confidential by the state and by any agents or experts consulted or retained by the state to assist in the determination of the existence of a discovery.

(d) A mining claim or leasehold location determined by the director to lack a discovery is void and will be excluded or removed from the leasehold or the lease application.
