CHAPTER V PROTECTION OF COAL MINING AREAS

Article 59 Any units and individuals shall have the right to inform against or accuse persons who steal or damage the facilities and equipment in coal mine areas or commit other acts that threaten the security in coal mine areas.

Article 10 The State shall maintain order in production and other work in coal mine areas and protect the facilities of coal mining enterprises.

(3) to disrupt the order of coal mining areas, so that coal production and other work cannot be carried on normally or

The United States Bureau of Mines has directed its remote sensing research to the development of applications to abandoned mine land areas.

The experience of exploration activities in national areas is of interest to the Authority in light of the similar deposits of similar mineral resources in the Area.

In consequence, people are moving back into mining areas in numbers, miners are digging at will with no fear of interference from the authorities, and the level of mining activity has increased significantly over the past few months.

All units and individuals shall be forbidden to disrupt the order of production and other work in coal mine areas.

(2) to intentionally damage the installations of electric power and communications, the sources of water, the means of transportation and other production facilities in coal mining areas

(2) coal mining enterprises that are established in trans administrative regions of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

It was agreed that the primary outputs from the project will be a geological model of polymetallic nodule deposits in the CCZ and a prospector's guide containing a narrative description of the key factors relevant to exploration for polymetallic nodules in the CCZ, including data and available information on known deposits.

If public utilities or other projects need to be constructed in a coal mine area, the unit concerned shall consult the coal mining enterprise and reach an agreement before it may start construction.

Based on these discussions, the Commission considered that, despite the differences in geometry and dimensions of the two types of deposits, estimations of the likely mineable ore indicated that the total exploration area should be the same for each deposit.

This is clearly evidenced by the repair and development of villages and towns in close proximity to mining areas.

Article 58 No units or individuals may damage the installations of electric power and communications, the sources of water, the means of transportation and other production facilities in coal mine areas.

For each resource, this would provide the potential for locating a mineable area with at least 40 million tons of ore capable of sustaining a mining operation for 20 years.

The Panel noticed a general movement of people into mining areas in search of work.

The Panel believes that unchecked mining activity is likely to pose an increasing threat to security and stability in mining areas in the short to medium term.

The guide will also provide data and information on all known nodule deposits in the CCZ with a focus on the high resolution characterization of specific deposit sites.

And you can think of the open pit fire as a laboratory.

(c) exploitation means the recovery for commercial purposes of polymetallic sulphides or cobalt crusts in the Area and the extraction of minerals therefrom, including the construction and operation of mining, processing and transportation systems, for the production and marketing of metals

The financial administration of the National Transitional Government of Liberia is weak, with non existent internal control systems and ineffective external oversight systems. There is a lack of transparency and accountability in the system.

B. Prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides and cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts deposits in the Area

While the draft provides for the contiguity of blocks, before relinquishment, it is nevertheless flexible in recognizing that an applicant may retain, after relinquishment, several sites (clusters of blocks), which might not necessarily be contiguous.

(2) having a planned mining area, the limits of mining and a plan for comprehensive utilization of the resources

However, the Transitional Government has continued to struggle to establish security throughout diamond mining areas.

The site is extensive and comprises three subsites an area for accommodation an area for vehicle and equipment storage and the mining site itself.

Wolframite occurs with cassiterite.

Summary of gold, cassiterite and wolframite comptoirs approved by the Ministry of Mines

Draft regulations on prospecting and exploration for polymetallic sulphides and cobalt rich ferromanganese crusts in the Area

Nonetheless, the Government will have to continue to deploy considerable efforts to monitor the mines and diamond extraction.

Although mining monitors have been deployed in the major diamond mining areas nationwide, their work is limited by a lack of transport and other logistical constraints.

Article 62 Any units or individuals that wish to conduct operations within coal mining areas that may threaten safety of the coal mines must first obtain consent of the coal mining enterprises, report to the department in charge of the coal industry for approval and take safety measures.

(g) prospecting means the search for deposits of polymetallic sulphides or cobalt crusts in the Area, including estimation of the composition, sizes and distributions of deposits of polymetallic sulphides or cobalt crusts and their economic values, without any exclusive rights

Much of this equipment has subsequently disappeared and is now believed to be utilized in mining areas in the Liberian interior.

Article 38 To ensure safety in production, the system under which the directors of coal mine administrations and the managers of coal mines assume full responsibility shall be instituted in coal mining enterprises.

Prospecting shall not be undertaken in an area covered by an approved plan of work for exploration for polymetallic sulphides or cobalt crusts or in a reserved area nor may there be prospecting in an area which the Council has disapproved for exploitation because of the risk of serious harm to the marine environment.

Nevertheless, although there was little in the way of activity on the day of the Panel's overflight, the actual area of mining had been developed considerably and there were many more pits and trenches in evidence.

(c) Ongoing assessment of available data relating to prospecting and exploration for polymetallic nodules in the CCZ

(5) having a good communications system for dispatch on the surface, underground, within and out of the coal mine

If prospector is a juridical person, identify prospector's

In the year 2000, 80 percent of the world's coltan was sourced to the killing fields of the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.

During the first half of 2005, the Secretariat has continued with its efforts to develop a geological model of the polymetallic nodule deposits of the CCZ.

However there is still need to enhance the monitoring of mines and diamond extraction and to reinforce security, particularly in areas where new discoveries are made.

The coal mining enterprise that has obtained approval for establishment shall, by virtue of the document of approval, be issued the mining license by the department in charge of geology and mineral resources.
