There is a molybdenum mine and I want to mine it. What procedures should I go through and how much will it cost?

The policies of each province are different. Let’s talk about Shandong Province.

The first step: apply for a prospecting license. This is charged according to the prospecting area and must be entrusted to a qualified geological team. At least 200,000 is required. If this mining area already has exploration rights, then you have to buy the exploration rights, and then the price cannot be calculated. It is not possible to establish more than two exploration rights for the same type of minerals in one area at the same time.

Step 2: Take the prospecting license to apply for a mining license. This is also charged based on square kilometers. Molybdenum mines are generally line mines. At this time, the mining scope of the mining license can be narrowed, which can be effective. Save money. This process requires you to go through a series of procedures with the Development and Reform Commission, Land and Resources Bureau, local township governments, Forestry Bureau, Agriculture Bureau, Labor Bureau, Water Conservancy Bureau, Public Security Bureau and other departments. If there are optical cables, military, cables, etc. in the area, you will also need to go through a series of formalities. And go through the procedures of relevant units and departments. After completing these procedures, you can get the mining right certificate by paying certain resource fees, land use and other fees. Taking a non-metallic mine in a 0.5 square kilometer mining area as an example, this requires at least about 500,000.

Step 3: Apply for a production safety license. There are two situations here. The first is open-pit mining. For open-pit mining, it only costs RMB 100,000 or 200,000. If you want to save a little, there is a compromise. The second is well mining. It now costs more than RMB 500,000 to obtain a safety production certificate.

Step 4: After completing the procedures, it is time to pull industrial cables, build roads, build mining areas, purchase equipment, and conduct underground operations.

Step 5: If the grade is not high, it is best to build a processing plant.

Hope it can be a reference for you.
