Abstract:
The article is devoted to identifying the features of the legal regulation of the provision and use of forests for the purposes of geological exploration, exploration and mining. As a result of the analysis of regulatory legal acts, in particular, the provisions of forest legislation on the provision of forest plots for use in relation to land legislation and legislation on subsoil, as well as materials of judicial and arbitration practice, the conclusion is proved that, despite the regulation of the current land and forest legislation, as well as legislation on subsoil, the procedure for granting and the use of forests for the purposes of geological exploration, exploration and mining, a number of problematic issues still remain unresolved, controversial and relevant, which often leads to litigation.
