Mining Legislation
The Mine and Mineral Act (1995) - which greatly simplified licensing procedures, places minimum reasonable
constraints on prospecting and mining activities, and creates a very favorable investment environment, whilst allowing for
International arbitration to be written into development agreements, should this be deemed necessary. A framework
for responsible development has also been created through publication of the Environmental Protection and Pollution Control
Regulations. Licensing System Three types of license are available to the large-scale operator:
- Prospecting License - this confers
the right to prospect for any mineral over any size of area for a period of 2 years renewable.
- Retention License - this confers the right to retain an area subject to the Ministers agreement,
over which feasibility studies have been completed but market conditions are unfavorable for development of a deposit at that
time. Size of area may be that covered by a prospecting license or smaller area as redefined by the License holder.
- Large Scale Mining License - this confers exclusive rights to carry
out mining operations and other acts reasonably incidental thereto in the area for a maximum of 25 years. The area to be held
should not exceed the area required to carry out the proposed mining operations. Applications need to be accompanied by environmental
protection plans and by proposals for the employment and training of citizens of Zambia.
Similar rights
are available to smaller operators, but on a reduced scale - Prospecting Permits - relate to areas of 10km² and have a duration of 2 years non-renewable.
- Small Scale Mining License - relate to areas not exceeding 400
3hectares and have a duration of 10 years renewable.
- Artisans
Mining Rights - give the right to local people to mine on an artisanal basis in an area not exceeding 5 hectares, for a period
of 2 years non-renewable.
- Gemstone License
- holders may carry mining operations over an area, not exceeding 400 hectares for a period of not more than 10 years
