Services

Licences and export permits

The State Department for Mining handles two services on this portal: licences for businesses that deal in gold, and permits to export it. You apply through your AfriMineX account, and Department officers decide your application here.

This portal does not deal with mineral rights, such as artisanal mining permits, mining permits, or reconnaissance, prospecting, retention and mining licences. For these, contact the Department.
