“In total the Draft Law proposes 189 amendments. The concept is to reduce obligatory contract analysis to 60%; optimization of the model contract provisions; release of subsoil users under solid minerals (except of uranium) production contracts from the obligation to coordinate the production volumes changes within 20% of project indicators, but not more than project maximum”, – the Deputy Minister of Industry Nurlan Sauranbayev said during the presentation in Majilis on Thursday.

Besides, the draft law provides for introduction of a new type of granting the subsoil users the right according to competitive tendering principle, and also introduction of simplified procedure for subsoil use right granting according to “First In First Out” rule with the annually growing rate for subsoil use.
