The Romanian government has approved key legislative measures to regulate mineral exploitation across various regions, including Alba and Bistrița-Năsăud counties. Among the decisions is the registration of the Dealul Jgheabului and Pârâul Româneasa deposits as state public property, aligning with the country’s Mining Law.
Additionally, the government extended the exploitation license for the Roșia Poieni mining perimeter by five years, until January 31, 2030. This move allows SC CUPRU MIN SA Abrud to continue extracting copper ore, limestone, and andesite under updated technical and economic conditions.
Similarly, the mining licenses for dacite exploitation in the Tunel I – Măgura Ilvei and Poiana Ilvei – Măgura Sturzii perimeters have been extended for five years, with the possibility of successive renewals. These licenses, held by Romcim SA, ensure continued extraction activities within their respective areas.
The license extensions include adjustments to mining royalties in accordance with recent legislative updates. These decisions reflect the government’s strategy to regulate and support mining operations while maintaining state control over critical mineral resources.
