Abstract

The article presents the issue of the protection of mineral deposits and the new solution implemented, which is the possibility of granting the status of a strategic deposit to whole deposits or only parts thereof. This possibility was introduced by the Act of 16 June 2023 changing the Geological and Mining Law and certain other acts, which has been in force since 28 October 2023. The two main criteria that a mineral deposit should meet are presented, as well as the procedure for issuing a decision by the minister responsible for the environment to determine a mineral deposit or a part thereof as a strategic deposit. An analysis was also made of the consequences of issuing such a decision, which is assumed to increase the legal protection of such a deposit. It was shown that this increased protection consists of six major elements, which are
described in the article.
