More information

The D-EITI Secretariat requests information on changes to mining rights from the mining authorities of the federal states on an annual basis. The information provided is then compiled in a central Excel list. The last request was made in July 2025. The spreadsheets contain links to the relevant mining authority and, where available, the online license register of the respective federal state.

Most federal states publish mining licences systematically via online licence registers. An overview of the registers and the relevant mining offices can be found on the interactive map for D-EITI reporting.

Since 21 July 2017, the following information on granted and maintained mining licenses can be inspected upon request to the mining authorities in accordance with Section 76(3) BBergG without having to demonstrate a legitimate interest:

  • Owner
  • Fields to which the mining license relates
  • Date of application and granting
  • Duration
  • Mineral resource to which the mining license relates
