Deferral (mining)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The deferral is a permit from the mining authority that operations may be suspended for a certain period of time. This means that mining authorization is retained and does not fall outside .

history

The term deferral for mining is only sparsely documented in the literature. This is probably due to the fact that this term under mining law has not been included in the General Mining Act for the Prussian states since it was promulgated on June 24, 1865. The following examples represent other references:

  1. "Hours and hours is the provisional shutdown of a company or part of it (route, tunnel, etc.)."
  2. “The temporary closure of a mine is called deferral. It can have its cause in safety problems or a lack of drainage if a tunnel has not yet opened a pit. "

In old authorization files of the Arnsberg District Government, Mining and Energy Department, there are many practical examples of deferrals. In the middle of the 19th century there were widespread suspicions of mine fields after prospectors in search of deposits of raw materials had found what they were looking for. In many cases, operations could not be continued after a while for various reasons. On the other hand, the field was viewed as courteous . Now they turned to the mining authority with an application for a deadline to prevent the mine property from falling into the free mountain range . After a corresponding review, the authority approved with a deferral that operations could be suspended for a certain period of time.

The procedure

Using the example of the Albert mine (Bergisch Gladbach) , the course of a deferral procedure according to the authorization file no. 9506 at the Arnsberg district government, Mining and Energy Dept. will be described: The award to Eisenstein took place on May 22, 1849. On January 9, 1851 the mine operator applied for an operating period . Thereupon the mining authority granted a deferral in order to fix the rights of the operator to mine ore. This process was repeated from year to year until there was an unlimited deferral from 1863. The request for a time limit was justified with "economic difficulties" of the Britannia smelter, with which they had a contract for the smelting of the iron ore extracted.
