In a significant move towards streamlining reporting processes, the Ministry of Industry and Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan initiated a pilot project on March 5, 2024. This project aims to facilitate the submission of reports by subsoil users through a unified platform known as “Minerals.gov.kz”. Under this initiative, subsoil users are required to submit reports concerning their exploration and extraction operations in accordance with the Regulations for the Submission of Reports by Subsoil Users During Exploration and Extraction Operations, approved by the Minister for Investments and Development of the Republic of Kazakhstan on May 24, 2018, under Order No. 374.
The pilot project enables subsoil users engaged in exploration and extraction operations to submit various types of reports electronically. These reports include compliance reports on exploration of solid minerals, as per the format outlined in Appendix 1 of the Regulations, and compliance reports on extraction of solid minerals, as per the format outlined in Appendix 2 of the Regulations. Subsoil users are required to fill out electronic forms available on the “Minerals.gov.kz” e-platform and authenticate them using the electronic digital signature of an authorized representative empowered to provide such information.
