MPF Part II Guidance Notes - For Ratification (1)
parties can take place on an equal footing. • Geological and cadastral information should be publicly available and free. This information should be available to a wide range of stakeholders: individuals, mining entities (including ASM operators), communities, and other civil-society actors including women, Indigenous peoples, and other under-represented groups in their engagement with mining entities and local authorities. Databases should provide the same level of information to all interested stakeholders seeking to do mineral exploration and mining development. • Information should be presented in a timely manner and in a format that is accessible and easy to understand. • Cadastral database should include: o Geographic locations of areas open for mining activities. o Geographic location and nature of mining titles open for attribution and attributed, including ownership, date of attribution and expiration, number of renewable periods available, commodity for which the title has been granted. o Geographic location of areas with specific legal constraints (legally protected areas, Indigenous people’s lands, urban areas, existing communities, and areas reserved for specific non-mining activities). • The evaluation process and criteria used to assess each mine permit application should also be available, as well as permits approved and denied, renewed, suspended, withdrawn, and other major non-mining-related permits. • Geological data made available should include: o Geological maps o Geographical location of exploration workings (soil sampling, trenches, pits, drilling) with geochemistry results from sample taken o Geophysical results (both airborne and land-based). For further reference refer to EITI Standard 2023 , Requirement 2, which provides additional details on the disclosure of cadastral information, and Requirement 3.1, which supports the disclosure of mineral reserves and GRI Sector Standards for Mining Projects . 1.1.3 Require mining entities to share geological data, in a timely and comprehensive manner, with the government agency in charge of mineral development to improve the understanding of the country’s mineral resources potential. • Mining entities should share with the government, in a timely manner, and in a usable format agreed upon with the government agency: o Exploration results including: (i) geographical location of all exploration (including near mine) work performed, (ii) geochemistry results of all samples collected, for all elements tested, not only those for which the mining title has been granted (iii) geophysical surveys, and (iv) updated geological interpretations. o 3D models of deposits and geological interpretations at regional and mine-site level. o Technical and financial studies in relation to any deposit developed or expected to be developed from mining titles, as soon as they are available, including those formalized under global resource classification systems (e.g., JORC, Ni 43-101, SAMREC), including feasibility and pre-feasibility studies, preliminary economic assessments, scoping studies, and any new or updated resource estimate. o Physical duplicates of samples sent for analyses should also be sent to the corresponding public entity at the expiration of the mining title. • The information should be sent to the national geological survey to feed their national geological database.
