CURRENT LEGISLATION
MME as the competent ministry, in
accordance with the Law on Mining (“Official
Gazette” Nos. 44/95 and 34/08),
issued the approvals for sampling the
technological sample on the approved
prospecting area. In accordance with the
Article 28, Paragraph 4, which says that
the “Simplified Mining Project is developed
for mining works on prospecting the
mineral resources”, MME on request of
interested persons in accordance with the
Law on Geological Investigations (“Official
Gazette” No. 44/95) have the approval
for geological prospecting, issue the decisions
to the enterprise or company for
giving the consent for sampling to the aim
of testing the quality of mineral raw materials.
Realization of mining works, in accordance
with the Article 37 of the Law on
Mining (“Official Gazette” Nos. 44/95
and 34/08), can be accessed, as referred to
in the Paragraph 1 “upon obtained the
approval of Ministry, and if these works
affect the water regime and environment
and the Ministry in charge for water management,
and environment protection”.
SIMPLIFIED MINING PROJECT FOR
SAMPLING WITHIN THE GEO-
LOGICAL PROSPECTING WORKS
Technological investigations are aimed
to the data obtaining on recovery degree
of raw materials into final products. In
addition, the workability, cleavage, milling,
grinding, polishing, etc., are also determined.
By analyzing this way of sampling on
the prospecting fields, it is seen that since
2003 until 2009, the interest in sampling of
mineral raw material from the prospecting
