1 Implementation of FlexiCadastre (for Mineral operation licensing and administration) In the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Ethiopia 09 February 2010

2 Main topics: Project background Mining industry in Ethiopia» Resource potential» License issuance &administration Cadstre project» Design Phase» Implementation and support phase Status of the Project Challenges

3 The Mining Cadastre project for Ethiopia:- Funded by World Bank under Energy Access Project agreement The project is divided in to two phases:- Design Implementation and Support Phase

4 Therefore To establish modern & Computerized mineral license data handling and management as per the existing Mining legislation. Help us to know automatically the available license information of the whole country at a time, and thus avoid overlap of license areas, as well as integrated administration. Enable us to Implement CMS in the MoME,, 9 RMB and 2 city administration M Offices so that establishing transparent and efficient licensing system.

5 Ethiopia: Mining Industry in Ethiopia Total area coverge of 1.14M.

7 MoME Issue & administers:- Prospecting, exploration and large & small scale mining licenses for foreign investors & JV operations Large scale mining licenses operated by national investors The RSMBs issue and administer :-: prospecting, exploration, artisanal mining and small scale mining for national investors Levies and collect land rentals for all mineral operations in the region

8 Status of Implementation of Flexi cadastre in Ethiopia First, the CMS design was accomplished in Implementation phase work was commenced in June 2008 as per the contract agreement b/n MME & Spatial Dimension & Swedish Geology Hifab.as per the outputs of the design phase. Three round trainings were conducted for 30 trainees of the MoME & RMB for 30 days. Workflows that help to process prospecting, exploration, mining licenses and other related administrative were developed by the consulta. Soon to start support phase

9 The main component of FlexiCadastre is the incorporation of procedures (workflows) that are based on the Ethiopian Mining Law and Regulations. The following business processes were developed. Artisinal Mining Application Artisinal Mining Renewal Artisinal Mining Transfer Discovery Application Discovery Transfer Exploration Application Exploration Renewal Exploration Extension (Area) Exploration Relinquishment Exploration Transfer Large Scale Mining Application Large Scale Mining Renewal Large Scale Mining Extension (Area) Large Scale Mining Relinquishment Large Scale Mining Transfer Small Scale Mining Application Small Scale Mining Renewal Small Scale Mining Extension (Area) Small Scale Mining Relinquishment Small Scale Mining Transfer Prospecting Application Force Majeur for all license types Revocation for all license types Surrender for all license types

17 "# $%& some of the pecular issues considered when Logo the Herework flows were established:- The same area can be granted license for different mineral types either by the regions or Ministry The license and land rental fees may not be the same in each regions Additional Spatial validation process is added for regional Offices (to validate the regional boundary) Therefore Flexi cadastre is customized as per the requirements of the Mining laws of Ethiopia
