To automate the complete concession life-cycle that begins from the identification of an area and ends with the closure of the mine, a Mining Tenement System is created. This system is quite beneficial for the stakeholders who can get access to all the electronic files available on the database. Also, they can exchange all the data relevant to a project with one another through MTS. The purpose of this system is to make the management of the mineral concession regime quite easy and straightforward for everyone. Another benefit is that this system promotes all operations transparency both at the Center and the States Level.
Common Activities handled by Mining Tenement System
Here are everyday activities performed once the MTS is installed.
Registration: The whole process begins with the submission of an online registration form. A specific id is guaranteed to each proposal during the registration process. It is a kind of digital signature certificate registration.
