No prospecting work as herein required shall be postponed or suspended, except upon written authority of the commissioner or the commissioner's duly authorized representative.

The commissioner or the commissioner's representative shall have the right at all reasonable times to inspect the work done under the permit or the lease issued pursuant thereto, and carry on such engineering and sampling work as the commissioner may wish to do, not unnecessarily or unreasonably interfering with the work of the permittee or lessee.
