The Mines and Geosciences Bureau said over the weekend it will rationalize the requirements for different types of mining applications. 

MGB said the plan was in line with President Rodrigo Duterte’s directive to all government agencies to reduce the number of requirements in applying for permits. 

It said the streamlining would apply to applications for exploration permit, mineral production sharing agreement, declaration of mining project feasibility, mineral processing permit, industrial sand and gravel permit, operating agreement and deed of assignment for MPSA.

MGB said that from 19 and 10 documentary requirements for new and renewal of EP, respectively, the requirements would be reduced to 15 and 8, respectively.

For MPSA renewal, the 16 documentary requirements would be lessened to six.
