CU 24: Meaning of mining exploration expenditure
or “This provision about mining exploration costs no longer applies”

You could also call this:

“This section defining 'mining operations' has been removed from the Act”

This section used to explain what ‘mining operations’ meant in the Income Tax Act 2007. However, it has been removed from the law. The government took it out on 1 April 2014. This change affects how taxes are calculated for the 2014-15 tax year and all the years after that. If you need to know what ‘mining operations’ means now, you would have to look at other parts of the law or newer rules that have replaced this section.
