- facing materials and construction stones;
5 group. Ornamental and gemstones:
- kamnesamotsvetny raw materials;
- gemstones;
6 group. Mining chemical raw materials:
- agrochemical raw materials;
- technical raw materials;
7 group. Fresh and mineral underground waters;
8 group. Rossypny fields of precious metals.
Mining - extraction from subsoil of minerals.
Off-balance inventories - the inventories of minerals considered in the State stock balance of minerals of the Kyrgyz Republic as economically inexpedient for development at the time of their accounting.
The lands provided for use of natural resources - the parcels of land provided to the subsoil user for development of minerals and construction of facilities of infrastructure (roads, warehouses, tailings dams, the power transmission line, the field camp and others), determined in graphical documentation in rectangular system of coordinates by its angular points.
The parcel of land of the State reserve of lands of mineral deposits - the site of the land surface under which the mineral deposits considered by the State stock balance of minerals of the Kyrgyz Republic are reconnoitered, determined in graphical documentation in rectangular system of coordinates by its angular points.
Initiative of transparency of the extracting industries (further - IPDO) - the global international standard promoting ensuring transparency of the income from activities of the extracting industries, providing carrying out reconciliation of payments of the companies and income gained by the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and regular informing the general public.
Preservation - the temporary termination of geological and search, exploration works and (or) mining of the minerals and (or) works connected with construction and operation of mountain or other property, with preserving possibility of continuation of the stopped works.
The concession treaty - form of mineral right on the basis of the concession treaty between the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and (or) authorized state body on realization of state policy on subsurface use and the subsoil user in case of which the subsoil user is granted exclusive right on geological studying of subsoil and (or) development of mineral deposits on the conditions determined by the concession treaty.
