Exploiters of 10 metal and 146 non-metal mines in Armenia receive warnings – Minister
Ministry of Energy Infrastructures and Natural Resources has given warnings to companies exploiting 10 metal and 146 non-metal mines, minister Artur Grigoryan said at the meeting with reporters today.
He said the ministry has registered violations as a result of studies. “In-depth studies have been conducted. Today in Armenia we have licenses for exploitation of 27 metal mines. It was a prior issue for me to study how these mines are being exploited. As a result of the studies 10 warnings have been given to exploiters of 10 metal mines and to 146 non-metal,” Artur Grigoryan said.
He informed that after receiving the warning the companies are obliged to eliminate the existing flaws in 90 days. “If they fail to do it, they will be deprived of license,” the minister said.
