December 24 , 2023 210 days 252 0
  • The Ministry of Mines has introduced a new scheme to expedite the exploration of critical and deep-seated minerals.
  • It aims to eliminate delays in project approvals, accelerate project execution, and encourage larger companies and international players to engage in exploration projects with NMET funding.
  • The ministry of Mines will directly sanction exploration projects to Notified Private Exploration Agencies (NPEAs).
  • These NPEAs are now permitted to bid for auctioning mineral blocks they have explored, a privilege previously unavailable to them.
