Authorised by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel 5 Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) (Mineral Industries) Interim Regulations 2018 S.R. No. 78/2018 Part 2—Royalties and production returns Part 2—Royalties and production returns

6 Calculation of royalties (1) For the purposes of section 12(1) of the Act, unless otherwise specified in the licence, royalties for all minerals, other than gold and lignite, are payable by the holder of a mining licence or the holder of a prospecting licence at the rate of 2·75 per cent of the net market value. (2) For the purposes of section 12(2) of the Act, royalties are payable at the rate of $1.43 per cubic metre for tailings from Crown land disposed of by the holder of–– (a) a mining licence under section 14(2)(b) of the Act; or (b) a prospecting licence under section 14B(2A) of the Act.

7 Minister may determine net market value in certain circumstances (1) If the Minister is of the opinion that the net market value reported in respect of a particular mineral is not a true or fair net market value of the mineral, the Minister may require the licensee to pay a royalty in relation to that mineral on the basis of the net market value of the mineral as determined by the Minister. Example This regulation may apply if the Minister is of the view that the costs reported in relation to the sale of a mineral do not all relate to the sale of that mineral, or are unreasonably high. This regulation may also apply if the Minister is of the view that the reported sale price of a mineral resulted from a transaction that was not a genuine commercial transaction because the parties to the contract were related bodies corporate. Authorised by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel 6 Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) (Mineral Industries) Interim Regulations 2018 S.R. No. 78/2018 Part 2—Royalties and production returns (2) Before making a determination under this regulation, the Minister— (a) must give the licensee a written notice— (i) that states that the Minister is of the opinion that the net market value of the mineral may not be a true or fair net market value of the mineral; and (ii) that states the reasons for that opinion; and (iii) that invites the licensee to make a written submission in response to the notice within the time specified by the Minister in the notice; and (b) must consider any submission that is made by the licensee within the time specified in the notice. (3) The Minister must not specify a period of less than 7 days for the purposes of subregulation (2)(a)(iii). (4) If the Minister makes a determination under this regulation, the licensee must pay the difference between the amount of royalty already paid in respect of the mineral and the amount of royalty that is payable on the basis of the determination within 28 days after the date the licensee is given written notice of the determination. (5) The licensee must also pay interest on the amount of that difference calculated from the date the royalty was payable to the date of the payment of the difference at the rate specified in the notice of the determination. Authorised by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel 7 Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) (Mineral Industries) Interim Regulations 2018 S.R. No. 78/2018 Part 2—Royalties and production returns (6) For the purposes of subregulation (5), the Minister may specify a rate that is up to 5 per cent greater than the rate for the time being fixed under section 2 of the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983.

8 Time of payment For the purposes of section 12(1)(b) and (2) of the Act— (a) royalties must be paid for each financial year and are due on 30 June each year; and (b) payment must be received within 28 days after the due date; and (c) despite paragraphs (a) and (b), the Minister may by notice to the licensee vary the period for which royalties must be paid and the due date for payment; and (d) unless payment is received within 28 days after the due date (or any other period set by the Minister under paragraph (c)), the payment is subject to interest at the rate prescribed under the Penalty Interest Rates Act 1983; and (e) if interest is payable under paragraph (d), the interest is to be calculated from the date the royalty was payable to the date of the payment of the royalty and interest.

30 June (or any other period set by the Minister under regulation 8(c)) in a form approved by the Department Head setting out the quantity of lignite produced and the value of the net wet specific energy content of that coal used for the purpose of the calculation of the royalty; and (b) in relation to tailings from Crown land, a statement for the 12 months preceding

30 June (or any other period set by the Minister under regulation 8(c)) in a form approved by the Department Head setting out the quantity of tailings disposed of; and (c) in relation to all other minerals, a statement for the 12 months preceding 30 June (or any other period set by the Minister under regulation 8(c)) in a form approved by the Department Head setting out full details of the quantity of minerals produced and the net market value, including the costs deducted. Penalty: 20 penalty units. (2) The Department Head, or an officer of the Department authorised by the Department Head, may inspect the mine and books and records of the whole or any part of the last 5 years of production, disposals, transfers, sales and costs to enable the amount of royalty to be assessed.

10 Timing and manner of measurement for calculation of a gigajoule unit of lignite produced (1) For the purposes of section 12A(5) of the Act— (a) the prescribed manner for measuring a gigajoule unit of lignite, in units of tonnes per gigajoule, is by using the following formula— 1/NWSE where— NWSE is net wet specific energy measured in units of gigajoules per tonne, and calculated on the basis of historic drillhole data representative of the lignite for which the royalty is being paid, with gross energy value converted to net energy value using International Organization for Standardization standard ISO 1928:2009(E); and (b) the prescribed time at which the measurement is made is a time that is suitable for performing the measurement in the prescribed manner. (2) For the purposes of section 12A(3)(a) of the Act, the number of gigajoule units of lignite produced is calculated using the following formula— NWSE × ρV where— NWSE is measured in accordance with subregulation (1); and Authorised by the Chief Parliamentary Counsel 10 Mineral Resources (Sustainable Development) (Mineral Industries) Interim Regulations 2018 S.R. No. 78/2018 Part 2—Royalties and production returns ρ is the average annual in situ density value of the lignite for which the royalty is being paid, in tonnes/m3, and calculated in accordance with the following formula to 3 decimal places— D ρ= 1 + ((0 ⋅ 01 × M) × (D − 1)) where— D is the weighted average true density of composite lignite samples taken each month during the period for which the royalty is being paid, with analysis performed using a method involving helium displacement that accords with industry standard, calculated to three decimal places; M is the average in situ moisture of the lignite which is representative of the lignite for which the royalty is being paid, based on historic drillhole data, expressed as a percentage, and calculated to one decimal place; and V is the volume of the lignite in m3 based on volumetric survey measurements taken for the lignite for which the royalty is being paid.

Schedule 1 to that Act. References to ILA s. 39B Sidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided regulation, rule or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subregulations, subrules or subclauses the original regulation, rule or clause becomes subregulation, subrule or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression "(1)" at the beginning of the original regulation, rule or clause. Interpretation As from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects: • Headings All headings included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any heading inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule. This includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; Orders; Parts into which an Order is divided; clauses; regulations; rules; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.

For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B. • Other material Any explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of a Statutory Rule.
