Übertragung der Bergbaubewilligung beantragen

If you want to transfer the mining license to a third party, you need the approval of the competent authority.

With a mining permit, you are the only person permitted to search for and extract the granted mineral resource in a defined area.

The area covered by the permit is limited to the earth's surface and theoretically extends to the center of the earth.

If you or your company have a mining permit for the exploration of mineral resources, you can transfer this to third parties under certain conditions. To do so, you need the written consent of the competent authority.

Evidence:
