New mining licences issued, others revoked

27 September 2016

Over 40 new mining licences were issued during the first half of the year to satisfy the high demand for construction materials by Cambodian infrastructure and real estate projects, while more than 100 licences were revoked due to environmental concerns or inactivity. A total of 505 mining licences, covering mineral exploration, construction materials and industrial purposes were active as of the end of July. Over 400 of these licences authorise the extraction of construction materials.
