Full text
232.0.1. A person referred to in the first paragraph of section 232 who transfers, as the case may be, his mining right, the land on which he carries out his mining activities, or his concentration or processing plant is liable to pay a compensation to the Minister for the harm caused by his activities to the environment, as prescribed by regulation.
The Minister may waive payment of that compensation in exchange for the implementation of a more efficient rehabilitation and restoration method for the land used for mining activities.
The first paragraph does not apply to a transfer of mining rights referred to in section 123.1.
