The exploration and production phases will be separated under the new system, meaning that investors will need to have a development plan agreed with the ministry and approved by parliament should they make a commercial discovery. Investors will not need to sign an agreement with the government, and the Oil Ministry will issue licenses without the need for legislation.<\/p>\n<p><b>Exploration licenses will be granted for an initial two-year period<\/b>, renewable for another two two-year terms subject to evaluation. Investors are currently allowed to explore a concession for up to 30 years without making commercial discoveries. The ministry will grant investors tax breaks and customs exemptions if they make discoveries, and will revoke licenses if they fail to find anything during the license period.<\/p>\n<p><b>Background:<\/b> President Abdel Fattah El Sisi <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.press\/stories\/2019\/08\/14\/el-sisi-ratifies-mineral-resources-act-economic-court-act-amendments\/\">ratified the Mineral Resources Act<\/a> two weeks ago, which introduces additional incentives for companies to invest in the mining sector.
