RELATION BETWEEN THE LICENSE FOR PROSPECTING (EXPLORATION) FOR MINERAL DEPOSITS AND THE GEOLOGICAL OPERATIONS PLAN
Journal Title: Biuletyn Państwowego Instytutu Geologicznego - Year 2015, Vol 465, Issue 465
Abstract
License (concession) for prospecting (exploration) for a mineral deposit is required only in relation to deposits enumerated in Art. 10 para. 1 of the Geological and Mining Law (includes minerals of greatest importance for the economy, i.e. hydrocarbons, coal, ores etc.). In other situations (like prospecting for other mineral deposits), geological operations may be performed after approval of the geological operations plan. The relation between the two documents is not clear. If the prospecting (exploration) activity for minerals determined in Art. 10 para. 1 of GMA is to be performed, the geological operations plan is the obligatory element of the license application, but there is no rule providing that the plan is to be approved. Geological operations plan that has been approved may be amended after presenting a relevant application. It refers to both cases, i.e. both licensed and non-licensed geological operations. Moreover, if the amendments of licensed geological operations are substantial and have a direct influence on the conditions of such license, the license authority must amend the license (Art. 80a of GMA).
