Applying for revocation of the mining permit

Do you have a permit for the exploration and extraction of mineral resources and would like to have it revoked in whole or in part? Then you must submit an application to the responsible mining authority.

With a mining permit, you are the only person permitted to search for and extract the granted mineral resource in a defined area.

You can have this permit revoked in full or in part, both objectively (individual mineral resources) and spatially. To do so, you must submit an application to the competent mining authority. You do not have to give any reasons for revocation.

The mining department of the Darmstadt Regional Council is responsible.

• Application for annulment

• Written form required: Yes

You have a mining license valid at the time of the application to prospect for and extract a specific mineral resource in the licensed area and to acquire ownership of it.
