Frequently asked questions

Can you advise on projects outside France?

Yes. We can advise on the contracts and structuring of international projects, working with local counsel where another country’s law applies.

What should we prepare before applying for a mining title?

Details of the area, the planned works, your technical and financial capacity, and the environmental studies already carried out.

Who is responsible for a site after mining stops?

The operator usually remains responsible for restoring the site. We can explain the obligations that apply to your project.
