Method of Survey
 21. (1) In surveying a mining claim in unsurveyed territory, the surveyor shall establish the boundaries of the claim by running straight lines from the No. 1 post at the northeast angle of the claim to the No. 2 post at the southeast angle thereof, from the No. 2 post to No. 3 post at the southwest angle thereof and from No. 3 post to No. 4 post at the northwest angle thereof, and from No. 4 post to No. 1 post and, where two mining claims are shown as having a common boundary in whole or in part, the boundary of the prior subsisting claim governs. (2) In establishing the boundaries of a mining claim in unsurveyed territory where, owing to the nature and conformation of the ground, the true angle or angles of the claim could not be posted, and the position thereof is indicated by witness posts as illustrated in each of the diagrams hereto, the surveyor shall follow the method described in the note to the diagram, having due regard to prior subsisting claims and to subsection 97 (2) of the Act. (3) The posts as shown by the diagrams hereto are located on the ground by survey.  R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 768, s. 21.
