The meaning of Article 11 of the Enforcement Decree of the Mining Business Act that "in case of failure to comply with an on-site investigation and attendance order two times, it shall be deemed that there is no objection to the establishment of mining right concerned"
Summary of Judgment
Article 11 of the Enforcement Decree of the Mining Act provides that if the application area overlaps with the application area of another person for the establishment of mining rights for different types of mineral mining areas, the mining right holder of different types of mineral shall be deemed to have no objection to the establishment of the mining right in question if he/she fails to comply with the witness order for a field investigation on two occasions. This is merely a provision on whether a mining right holder of different types of mineral rights has lost his/her right to objection to the same mining area, and thus, if the other person is absent on a field investigation on two occasions, it cannot be viewed that he/she receives duplicate mining rights application for the mining area without complying with the requirements
