January 28: The Department of Mines and Geology has granted permission to 141 persons and companies for mining across the country.

Rastriya Samachar Samiti reported that the Mine and Heritage Division under the department provided the permit to excavate minerals in different parts of the country in the current fiscal year.

The excavation list includes limestone, sphatik, stone dust used to make glass, iron, dolomite, ruby, zinc, copper, stone and coal.

Division chief Ram Prasad Ghimire said that although the division had conducted study in more than 500 places, the permission for excavation was given in only 241 places.

“It is not sure all the areas have the minerals. So only the areas with traces of minerals are dug up,” he said, adding that most of the mining would be conducted on domestic investment.

The minerals are categorized into three groups- most important, important and common. The most important are gold, silver, diamond and other precious metals.

According to him, owing to the high price and lack of technology, the minerals produced in the country as kyanite, quartz and tourmaline have not been exported for two years.
