These rules shall apply to prospecting and quarrying of granite and in particular on prospecting matters preceding mining operations. No lease shall be granted by the State Government unless it is satisfied that there is evidence to show that the area for which the lease is applied for has been prospected earlier for granite or the existence of granite therein has been established otherwise. The period for which a prospecting licence may be granted shall not exceed two years. The period for which leases may be granted shall not exceed thirty years. Provided that the minimum period for which any such lease may be granted shall not be less than twenty years. A lease may be renewed for a period not exceeding twenty years. Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-rule, if the State Government is of the opinion that in the interest of development of granite it is necessary to do so, it may, for reasons to be recorded, authorise the renewal of a lease for a further period or periods not exceeding twenty years in each case. The minimum area that may be granted or renewed under a lease for ensuring mining activities to optimum depth shall not be less than one hectare.
