The many years of practice shows an unsatisfactory legal condition in the scope of mine closure and post-mining land reclamation, which was emphasized within the analysis of the provisions of Geological and Mining Law and Act on the Protection of Agricultural and Forest Land in force. The changes of some of the provisions proposed in the draft of the Geological and Mining Law, although partly removing loopholes and interpretation ambiguities, are not satisfactory, which is visible in comparison with solutions applied in the countries with a high level of mining development. The detailed provisions to the proposed amendments in the form of regulations to the act, as well as conforming procedures and formal requirements concerning the license, manner of reclamation, project documentations and a fund for the closure of mining plant are required. A discussion of the listed problems and author’s postulates are included in the final part of the paper.
