Situations in which more than one applicant applies for the right to explore or recognise the same mineral in the same space are becoming increasingly common. The Geological and Mining Act provides that the licensing authority shall publish information about the first application for the exploration license of a mineral deposit in the Public Information Bulletin. The purpose of this is to allow the submission of competing applications for the same mineral and the same space. The licensing authority evaluates them according to criteria such as the intended scope of exploration, its duration, the financial capacity of the applicant, and the intended technology of operations. The concession is awarded to the one whose application scores the highest. However, some of the related requirements have been defined defectively and can be circumvented.
