Within six months after the expiration of a uranium exploration operation permit, the operator shall submit a clear and complete report concerning the geological conditions in the permit area, including information required by § 45-6D-40. Additional information in the report may include mechanical logs, geologic logs, core sections, cuttings samples, or other information concerning test holes drilled pursuant to the expired permit. Where numerous closely spaced test holes have been drilled, the Board of Minerals and Environment may require such reports on representative test holes. Information provided shall be identified as to the operator, well name, location, and depth of sample or core. Any material required shall be shipped free of cost to the board.

Reports made pursuant to §§ 45-6D-39 and 45-6D-40 are not required to be duplicated in the final report. The operator may incorporate such reports by reference.
