The Ministry of Mines and Minerals Development is pleased to inform the public that the Mining Cadastre Licensing System, which experienced a temporary shutdown from 1st June 2025, has now been fully restored and operational.
The disruption was due to the expiration of contractual obligations with Spatial Dimension, the South Africa-based system developer.
The Ministry has taken interim measures to reopen the platform while finalizing contractual arrangements to ensure the system’s continued management.
Clients can now access all services provided by the Mining Cadastre Department through the following portals:
• Mining Cadastre Map Portal: https://portals.landfolio.com/Zambia/
• Online Transactional Portal: https://portal.miningcadastre.com
The Ministry regrets any inconvenience caused and appreciates the public’s patience and cooperation during this period.
