A few things to note with regards a SA mining permit
A mining permit may only be issued if:
- the mineral in question can be mined optimally for two years
- the mining area does not exceed 1,5 ha.
How long does it take
The South African Mineral Resources Administration System will inform you immediately if your application has been accepted (this means you have met all the requirements).
The second phase of the application process is the adjudication which is done internally within the Department. It takes 120 days to approve the Social and Labour Plan and Mine Works Programme. The third phase in the application process is the granting or refusing of the licence application.
