Legal Definitions - mining location

MINING LOCATION

A mining location is a place where mining activities take place. It can refer to the physical location of a mine or the area where mining is permitted.

• LOCATION(4): Refers to the physical location of a mine, including the land, buildings, and equipment used for mining.
• LOCATION(5): Refers to the area where mining is permitted, including the land and resources that can be extracted.

Examples of mining locations include:

• The physical location of a gold mine in Nevada, including the land, buildings, and equipment used for mining.
• The area in Alaska where mining is permitted for copper and zinc, including the land and resources that can be extracted.

These examples illustrate how a mining location can refer to both the physical location of a mine and the area where mining is permitted. In both cases, the location is where mining activities take place and resources are extracted.
