No mining activities can lawfully occur in the absence of a mining licence issued by the Department of Mines and Geology (DMG) and environmental clearance from the Ministry for Forest and Environment. There are two types of licences related to mining activities issued by the DMG: a prospecting licence and a mining licence. The prospecting licence is required for all exploration activities in Nepal. It allows the licence-holder to conduct exploration in an area of not less than 0.25 km2 and not more than 250 km2 for an initial exploration period of two to four years, and can be extended for up to two years. Exploration activities should be completed within two years for ordinary non-metallic minerals and four years for metallic and valuable non-metallic minerals. This type of licence is categorized by the value of the mineral being explored.
