With a mining permit, you are the only person permitted to search for and extract the granted mineral resource in a defined area. 

The area covered by the permit is limited to the earth's surface and theoretically extends to the center of the earth. 

     If you or your company have a mining permit for the exploration of mineral resources, you can transfer this to third parties under certain conditions. To do so, you need the written consent of the competent authority.

								    

									    Requirements
  • You, or your representatives, must have the necessary legal reliability.
  • You must be able to credibly demonstrate that you can provide the necessary financing for proper exploration.
  • Your exploration project must not jeopardize the sensible and planned exploration and extraction of non-mineable or underground mineral resources.
  • Your exploration project must not impair any mineral resources whose protection is in the public interest.
  • Your exploration project must not affect any overriding public interests that preclude the search in the entire field to be allocated, for example environmental and animal protection.
