 mere offer of a company or person to provide finances for prospecting licence, or the mere assertion by an applicant that he has the necessary means to carry on efficient prospecting, is not proof enough. The Director of Mines has to be satisfied on this
 issue by the applicant. Of course, based on his knowledge or reputation of an applicant the Director of Mines may well be satisfied by a simple assertion in this regard, but he may quite properly require more tangible evidence from another applicant."

\par Th
e Director of Mines now appeals from this decision of the Board in pursuance of the statutory right of appeal given him by section 19(7) of the Act. The appeal to this Court is final. This Court hears this appeal under Order 55 Rule 3 and the appeal is by
 
way of rehearing. Under Rule 7 this Court has very wide powers. Where the appeal is from findings of fact the principle to be followed is that this Court would not lightly interfere with such findings. However, in this appeal the facts are not in dispute.
 In such circumstances this Court is in as good a position as the Board to evaluate the undisputed facts and draw inferences and conclusions therefrom. 
\par 
\par I will first consider the powers and jurisdiction of the Mining Appeals Board in appeals to it under section 10(3) of the Act. This matter is raised in ground 4 of the appeal.

 it was held that the Mining Appeals Board is an appellate body in the strict sense and that it cannot substitute its opinion for that of the Director or exercise its own discretion.
