The State Geology and Subsoil Service of Ukraine sold special permits for subsoil use in 2024 for a total amount exceeding UAH 3.5 billion.
This is stated in the agency’s report.
In particular, state budget revenues from the sale of special permits through 12 auctions on the Prozorro.Sales platform amounted to UAH 1.7 billion. A total of 148 lots were offered, of which 106 were successfully sold.
Additionally, 378 special permits were issued without auctions (including under small-scale subsoil use). Furthermore, 59 subsoil users exercised their right to freely transfer subsoil use rights.
Meanwhile, the European Business Association has called on the Cabinet of Ministers to declassify data on Ukraine’s mineral reserves. In its statement, the EBA emphasized that a significant portion of information on deposits of strategic resources, including diamonds, gold, lithium, titanium, and platinum, is restricted and classified as “secret” or “for official use only.”
This initiative has gained relevance in light of U.S. attempts to gain control over 50% of Ukraine’s resources.
