A new format for
obtaining licenses for extracting solid minerals is being introduced in
Kazakhstan. The entire process, encompassing application submission, review and
license issuance, will now be automated. All functions are available on a
single platform for subsoil users in electronic format. According to the Kazakh
Ministry of Industry and Infrastructure Development, this automation will
completely eliminate the human factor, and potential investors will gain a
comprehensive overview of the requested site, including infrastructure details
and geological and geophysical reports. As a result, this will expedite all
business procedures related to obtaining licenses for exploration and
production.
