| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this paper is to examine the legal systems regulating the grant and possession of exploration licences and how they may be exercised. The study, is comparative in its nature, aims at highlighting the similarities and differences between Zambia and Chile and thereby identifies interesting issues relating to the granting and exercising of mineral rights. The study examines mineral rights and different legal systems regulating mineral exploration. The focus is on mining and mineral legislation and its application, including the exercise of mineral rights within the realm of exploration. The systems chosen are those of Zambia and Chile. The main result is generated by the comparison dealing with the application, granting and possession of exploration licences. The legal processes concerning granting mineral rights are in fact complex as evidenced by this work. The continuous change of mineral legislation during the course of this study is an indication of the complexity of the topic. | en_US |
