prospecting permits

Prospecting permits are official agreements that allow individuals or companies to explore for minerals or natural resources on a specific piece of land. These permits grant the holder the legal right to conduct initial exploration activities, such as surveying and sampling, to assess whether valuable resources are present. They do not grant ownership of the land itself but provide a regulated framework to investigate potential deposits. Prospecting permits are typically issued by government agencies and require adherence to certain rules to protect the land and environment during exploration.
