1. Subject to the limitations specified in NRS 396.620 to 396.660, inclusive, the Chancellor shall cause to be analyzed by an appropriate employee of the System any ores, minerals, soil or water taken from within the boundaries of the State of Nevada and sent by any resident of the State for that purpose. Persons sending samples from post offices in states bordering Nevada may be required to furnish evidence that their samples are taken in Nevada and that they are Nevada residents. Any resident of the State may send any such substance for analysis. The report of the results of the analysis must be mailed to him or her within 10 working days after it has been received if he or she has supplied the information for the maintenance of records as provided in this section. The report sent to him or her must also contain as nearly as possible an explanation of the uses and market value of the substance.
2. For each sample sent for analysis, the System shall charge a fee of $5 which must be used to defray the expense of conducting the analysis and storing the sample.
3. The System shall keep a record, open for inspection, under such rules as may be made by the Board of Regents, of all minerals, ores or other matters so sent, with a history of the minerals or other matters, stating the name and residence of the person from whom received, as nearly as possible the location from which the material was taken, including the district and county, and any other relevant information. This information for the records may be required to be filed with the System before any work is done on the material sent, and the 10-day limit for reports will count from the time the information is received by the System. The System shall cause the preparation and printing of forms for providing the information and shall distribute the forms at no charge.
4. A portion of the sample analyzed must be kept by the System for 3 months after the report is sent out, in case any question should arise in relation to the report or additional information be desired. After that time expires, samples may be destroyed or used for any desirable purpose.
