Where a person proposes to sink a shaft or borehole to reach a depth of more than 20 feet, he must notify the Minister of his intention to carry out the sinking at least two weeks before commencing it.<\/p>\n
He must keep a journal of the shaft or borehole. He must retain for at least two months of such longer period, such specimens of the strata so as may have been obtained in the course of sinking of the borehole either as cores or fragments.<\/p>\n
Inspectors are entitled at all reasonable times to have access to any shaft, borehole or bore. They may take copies of journals and inspect specimens so obtained.<\/p>\n
Every other agent or manager of the mine must allow the inspector under legislation to have free access at all reasonable times to all underground or other workings. They must produce the requisite record. Failure to comply or impeding an officer is an offence.<\/p>\n\n
