63I—Applications for production tenements
(1) The Minister may
agree with an applicant for a production tenement over native title land that
the tenement will be granted or registered contingent on the registration of
an agreement or determination under this Part.
(2) The Minister may
refuse an application for a production tenement over native title land if it

diligence to obtain the agreement or determination necessary to the grant or
registration of the tenement to which the application relates (and if the
application is refused, the applicant's claim lapses).
