Suspend, restrict, or terminate MLAS accounts and prospector’s licenses.
Prohibit a person from registering as a user on MLAS or obtaining a prospector’s license.
Deny a lease issuance.
Subject to the prior Lieutenant Governor in Council approval, cancel or revoke unpatented mining claims or licenses of occupation, and terminate leases.
