Governorates, local units and the General Authority for Roads & Bridges and Land Transport should not request donations or impose any additional fees on the production and transportation of minerals extracted from mines, quarries, and salterns, beyond what is mandated in the Mines and Quarries Law No. 198 of 2014 and Law 145 of 2019 and their executive regulations.
Ensure that the Egyptian Environmental Affairs Agency provides adequate information (maps) on the areas where mining is prohibited; additionally, it should expedite the issuance of environmental approvals for licensed companies and oblige operating companies to adhere to all the controls and procedures, as gold ores are subject to theft by random explorers of gold “Dahaba”.
