Kazakhstan implements new format for obtaining licenses for solid mineral extraction

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.
