The Mining Act

The Mining Act is a set of laws that governs mining activities, including the exploration, extraction, and management of mineral resources. It establishes guidelines for obtaining permission to mine, ensuring environmental protection, and outlining how benefits from mining should be shared with local communities. The Act typically includes provisions for licensing, safety regulations, and the responsibilities of mining companies toward landowners and the environment. The goal is to balance economic development through resource extraction with the need to protect natural resources and the rights of affected communities.
