To facilitate administrative formalities and procedures relating to Mining Titles, applicants should approach the Mining Promotion and Development Centre (MPDC) which is in charge of the management and maintenance of the Mining Survey Plan and serves as liaison between such applicants and the Administration for any question, inquiry, request, submission, complaint or follow-up of any nature requiring the intervention of a department of the State.
The MPDC undertakes to diligently take the necessary actions with the other Departments of the Administration until the Mining Title is established. It shall notify the applicant, after the filing of its application, of its decision to grant or deny the Mining Title or Authorisation, no later than forty-five (45) business days for an Exploration Permit and no more than three (3) months for an Operating Permit or a Mining Concession.
