VHS
where

month.

a month shall be furnished by the royalty client to the Minister by the
10th day of the 2nd month following the month to which the report

client in a month is an amount calculated by multiplying the helium
royalty quantity
(
a) by the royalty client's H-CAP for the month, in any case
where clause (
