Shortly after the establishment of the democratic system, the country began to grant the first permits for mineral exploration and exploitation. During the last 20 years, it is reported that in Albania the mining activity lies mainly in the north, in the chrome exploitation, but also in the southern part where limestone, bitumen etc. , are exploited. These mineral resources have begun to be the focus of numerous investors along the last decade, with the result of more and more investors working in Albania. In order to make use of these resources there was the need of a new law and procedure. In 2010, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Energy, adopt a new law on the mining sector.

Based on the above mentioned and on the existing information of the mining permits in Albania, the article at hand will present the licenses managing process and the creation of the mining cadastre system through the use of GIS.
