Abstract

The definition of “tribal territory” is erased from section 2 and instead a definition of “tribal area” is given. Such area has the same meaning as in the Tribal Land Act. Section 71 is amended consequently. The clause of section 13 which prohibits issue of a reconnaissance permit in respect of an area on which a prospecting licence or mining lease is in existence is deleted.
