Map designation in territory reserved for staking

Entire cell

Since March 3, 2005, it has been possible to designate an entire cell in a buffer zone, that is, in territory reserved for staking, as long as the applicant is in possession of a statement from the holder of the staked claim, establishing that the latter is not located in the cell requested. The statement must accompany the application for map designation and the applicable fees.

Cell partially occupied by a staked claim

Map designation of a cell partially occupied by a staked claim can only be done by the holder of the staked claim, as long as the holder in question applies for conversion of the staked claim. The application for conversion must accompany the application for map designation and the applicable fees. The fees collected when the application for map designation is made are refunded after conversion.
