The Bureau of Mines licenses and inspects the mines and quarries of the Commonwealth, and is responsible for every mineral except oil and gas, which belong to the Bureau of Hydrocarbons. It is part of the Ministry of Industry, and was established in 1969.

Most of the country’s metal ore is mined in Kala, which has large deposits of iron ore, copper, zinc and uranium, as well as coal and precious metals. The ore goes to the Bureau of Supply to be allocated against the quarterly production targets, and the uranium is enriched for reactor fuel at the National Centrifuge & Enrichment Plant in Speidisn. Quarrying for stone, gravel and sand is done in nearly every republic, and accounts for most of the bureau’s licences.

Raw commodities pay a royalty of 55 per cent of receipts, which the bureau assesses for the Treasury. Gemstones are an exception. The natural gem mines have been closed by the government, and all Commonwealth gems today are made synthetically by Common Gemstone, which is also responsible for the security of the old mine sites.
