Leases may be canceled for breach or violation of any of the terms or conditions of the lease or of these rules; provided, however, that before any such cancellation shall be made, the commissioner shall mail to the lessee, by registered mail, addressed to the post office address of such lessee as shown by the New Mexico state land office records, a thirty (30) day notice of intention to cancel said lease, specifying the default for which the lease is subject to cancellation. Thirty (30) days after such mailing, the commissioner may enter cancellation unless the lessee shall have sooner remedied the default to the satisfaction of the commissioner.
