Legal Framework of Mining Concessions<br />

Through mining<br />

concessions<br />

(claims), the Mining<br />

Law guarantees the<br />

mineral rights to<br />

Mexican individuals<br />

and companies<br />

established within<br />

the country.<br />

Companies can be<br />

constituted up to 100%<br />

with foreign capital.<br />

Initially, mining<br />

concessions are<br />

yielded for 50 years<br />

and can be extended<br />

for other 50 years.<br />

There is no limit<br />

to concession<br />

areal extension.<br />

Claims are granted<br />

for all mineral rights,<br />

excepting radioactive<br />

minerals, on the<br />

bases of “first came<br />

first served.”
