Czech Republic: Mineral and Energy Policy

Original language description

Ore deposits in the territory of the Czech Republic are mostly exhausted by long mining. The only exceptions are some gold, tungsten, and uranium deposits. Of the future interests, here might also be some deposits containing lithium minerals. Exploration of industrial minerals deposits is stable. Production is mostly focused on traditional ones, such as kaolin, refractory clay, bentonite, industrial sands, limestone, and feldspars. Domestic demand for construction minerals is mostly covered by local deposits of sand and gravel, aggregates, crushed stone, and brick clay.When creating its energy strategy, the Czech Republic may take advantage of the fact that despite a considerable drop of the exploitation of mineral raw materials at the end of the last century, the production of the majority of energy raw materials has been preserved in its territory. The State Energy Policy of the Czech Republic that was approved in March 2004 and a government expert committee for assessing the future energy needs of the Czech Republic in 2008 came to similar conclusions: 1.Not to delay the planned construction of new nuclear reactors, including a realistic evaluation of the role of domestic uranium deposits with regard to their integration into the uranium cycle 2.To consider the possibility of increasing the availability of domestic lignite. The main objective of the national mineral policy is to secure an abundant supply of mineral resources for the nation’s economy.
