The Minister of Energy, Mines and Quarries, Jean Pierre Boussim, informs mining promoters who request the suspension of mining titles due to insecurity “that due to the absence of a legal basis in the matter, the said requests are classified without follow-up”. This announcement was made in a release dated 22 December 2022. The same release specifies ‘that the texts in force offer them the possibility of requesting the renunciation of their mining titles’. For Jean Pierre Boussim, requests for the suspension of industrial exploitation permits for large and small mines whose legal regime is governed by the mining code and mining conventions are not concerned by the terms of the release.
