shall, subject to this Act and any order of the Warden's Court, register a
mineral claim upon receipt of due application for registration of the claim in
the prescribed form and accompanied by the prescribed particulars.
(4) A mining registrar
may refuse to register a mineral claim (other than a claim that relates solely
to extractive minerals) if satisfied that—
(a)
before the claim was pegged out, an application had been lodged for an
exploration licence for an area comprising the area of the claim or portion of
the area of the claim; and
(b) the
application has not been refused.
(4a)
A mining registrar cannot register a mineral claim if to do so would be
inconsistent with a public undertaking by the Minister to the mining industry.

registration of a mineral claim is not made as required by this section, or if
the mining registrar lawfully refuses to register the claim, the claim shall
lapse.
