Abstract

This Resolution, consisting of 49 articles and 13 Annexes, establishes requirements, definitions, criteria, guidelines and procedures related to the environmental licensing of all mining undertakings, mining projects and activities that have titles of mining rights granted by the National Mining Agency (ANM), instituted and regulated by the mining legislation, allowing mineral extraction, including mining areas and others activities necessary for the development of mining activities, such as: physical processing, ore storage, tailings and waste deposits, among others. The Resolution specifies all kind of licences as well as related validity periods, as established in Annex II. For undertakings with no mining title, a Simplified Environmental License (LAS) may be issued, for earth-moving and dismantling of raw materials, which are necessary for opening and maintaining transport routes, general earthworks and buildings, provided there is no commercialization, and specific documents must be presented.
