The Governor-General also may make rules for the management of the Crown Lands, for the sale or letting thereof, for the prevention of squatting and encroachment thereon and of spoil and injury to the woods thereon. The Act also defines the right of the Crown to mines and alluvial deposits of precious metals and minerals on or under any lands in Grenada and relative compensation.
