Uzbekistan has adopted a new version of the law regulating the ownership and use of subsoil resources. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed the document.
All mineral resources located in the subsoil are considered state property and are subject to protection and rational use. This rule applies regardless of land or water ownership rights.
The state grants the right to use subsoil resources within the legal framework established by law. However, these rights cannot be sold, gifted, inherited, or used as collateral.
The law will come into effect three months after its official publication.
Kursiv Uzbekistan reports that Uzbekistan’s subsoil resources will be monitored from space.
