The Directorate General of Mineral and Coal at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources announced on Tuesday it has issued C&C status for the IUP mining business permits of another group of 75 mining companies both coal and minerals.
The directorate said that the mining companies must submit the necessary documents to be able to obtain the C&C certificate.
This is the 12th batch of mining companies whose IUP mining permits have been declared C&C by the directorate as they have met the requirements set in Law No 4/2009 and Government Regulation No 23/2010 including there is no overlapping of IUP area and the IUP documents are in accordance with the regulations.
Since the past couple of years, the government has been making verification of thousands of IUPs issued during the past mining boom by regional governments. The move is part of efforts to sort out the administrative mess as many of the IUPs were issued without proper regards to existing regulations, and are saddled with overlapping problems. The first batch of IUPs granted with the C&C status was made in July 2011.
