If we do not take into account that an Australian company spent $ 350 million worth of exploration for the 350 million crowns, the Czech Republic will not be able to exploit the mining horizon without an elementary agreement with a company holding a preferential right to mining.
The Czech Mining Authority also confirmed that in order for the Czech Republic to be able to exploit the said rock it would have to be a holder of mining facilities for ore deposits. That is not the case, because it is a priority that belongs to a company which, according to the Mining Act, has been involved in the survey, with the prior approval of the Ministry of the Environment."
