" (1) In digging prospecting trenches the ground shall be thrown out so as to form approximately equal ridges on each side, and in sinking prospecting pits the ground shall be thrown out so as to surround the pit and all necessary precautions shall be taken, either by filling up or fencing them, to prevent persons inadvertently falling into or entering such trenches or pits:"
但本條不得阻止為作抽樣用途而移走挖掘出來的巖石。
Provided that nothing in this regulation shall prevent the removal of excavated ground for sampling purpose.
(2) 如礦務總監認為現已停工的探礦或採礦挖掘工程會引致生命危險 或相當可能妨害公共交通，他可命令探礦者、持牌人或承租人將它們填充 至地面的水平，或加以安全圍封。
" (2) If in the opinion of the Superintendent of Mines disused prospecting or mining excavations are dangerous to life, or likely to endanger public traffic, he may order them to be filled in to the level of the surface or securely fenced in by the prospector, holder or lessee."
(3) 任何人違反第(1)及(2)款條文的規定，即屬犯罪，且政府有權在 任何情況下將該等地坑或其他挖掘工程填充或以其他方法防護，費用由該 人承擔。
" (3) Any person who contravenes the provisions of paragraphs (1) and (2) hereof shall be guilty of an offence, and Government shall in any event have the right to fill up or otherwise protect such trenches or other excavations at the expense of such person."
所有當其時已停工的或只用作通風道的豎井井口或礦場的入口處、每 個開放的工作區(但非一般探礦坑穴或地坑)的進路、以及所有高架的及無 遮蔽的平台及主坑道，均須加以安全圍封或以其他方法防護。
" The mouth of every shaft or entrance to a mine which for the time being is out of use or used only as an air way, and the approach of every open working not being ordinary prospecting pits or trenches, and all elevated and exposed platforms and gangways shall be kept securely fenced or otherwise protected."
若土地原本已有探礦或採礦挖掘工程，則無論其為露出地面或在地底 ，該土地的每名探礦牌照、採礦牌照或採礦租契的持有人，均須負責防止 有人可通往該等挖掘工程，而若該等挖掘工程仍可通達，則須令該等挖掘 工程安全。
