Mining permits, 19 entities have been notified for revocation by the end of

At least 19 mining entities have been notified this year of the initiation of procedures for the revocation of their mining permits. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy published the notifications for the relevant entities' notifications relating to the period from February to November. The reasons for the revocation vary from case to case.

Thus, for at least one entity, it appears that the reason for the revocation was the failure to start the works after the company that obtained the permit had problems with the residents of the area. The company had won the right to extract the chromium, but the ongoing conflict has prevented it from advancing with the implementation of its plan.

In some cases, companies have not respected their obligation to pay the financial rehabilitation guarantee. This is a sum of money that must be provided by the company in order to be used to return the terrain to its previous condition. These are financial guarantees that must be paid by the companies for either 2023 or 2024 when the necessary deadlines have not been respected.

In other cases, the revocation of the mining permit has come as a result of failure to fulfill the obligation related to the work plan, while the entities have not exercised activity for a long time, which makes it legitimate to initiate the process of revoking the permit.

Another case of revocation has come as a result of failure to fulfill obligations related to obtaining the necessary permits for the exercise of the activity. MEI has notified an entity about the process of revoking the permit as it does not possess an environmental permit for the exercise of its activity.

In another letter, the Ministry of Interior underlines that an entity has not made accurate declarations to the National Agency for Natural Resources. Therefore, the declarations do not correspond to the factual situation on the ground where the entity carries out its activity./ Monitor
