Applying for revocation of the mining permit

  • Unternehmensstart und Gewerbezulassung

Do you have a permit for the exploration and extraction of mineral resources and would like to have it revoked in whole or in part? Then you must submit an application to the responsible mining authority.

  • Basic information

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

    You can have this permit revoked in full or in part, both objectively (individual mineral resources) and spatially. To do so, you must submit an application to the competent mining authority. You do not have to give any reasons for revocation.

    Requirements

    You have a mining license valid at the time of the application to prospect for and extract a specific mineral resource in the licensed area and to acquire ownership of it.

  • Procedure

    You can apply for the revocation online via the "BergPass" platform or in writing or for recording at your competent mountain authority.
