The Land Registration Rules 2003

Description of land where mines or minerals situated

70.—(1) This rule applies where—

(a)a registered estate in land includes any mines or minerals but there is no note in the register that the title to the registered estate includes the mines or minerals, and

(b)it is appropriate (for instance, because of a registrable disposition of part of the registered estate, or on a sub-division or amalgamation of a registered title) when describing the registered estate to do so by reference to the land where the mines or minerals are or may be situated.

(2) After the description required to be made in the property register under rule 5(a) the registrar may make an entry to the effect that the description is an entry made under that rule and is not a note that the registered estate includes the mines or minerals to which paragraph 2 of Schedule 8 to the Act refers.
