In the case of ‘Not specified’ the score is taken as 0.2. Both for exploration and mining, the total period that was considered includes the renewal also.3. The score is on the basis of Koh Naito, Felix Remy, John P. Williams (2001), Mining Sector Reform and Investment: Results of a Global Survey, World Bank.In order to compute each Reform Index, the authors assigned a score and a weight to each answer to a question. The score assigned to an answer ranges from 0 to 9 based onits importance as a component of generally accepted best practice in mining sector administration, as shown in the table below.Score Importance to mining sector reform9 Extremely important6 Very important4 Partially important2 Somewhat important1 Restrictive0 Very restrictiveFor example, the second answer (‘A2’) to the first question on the Questionnaire (relating to ‘Security of Tenure’) states that the country provides a ‘guaranteed rightto obtain a mining licence subject to transparent criteria’. This answer is assigned a score of 9 because of its importance as a key element of international bestpractice in the administration of mining rights. By contrast, the third answer (‘A3’) states that the country provides a ‘priority right to apply for a mining licence butapproval is discretionary’. The score for that answer is only 1 because it represents something significantly less than ‘best practice’ on an issue of criticalimportance.Source: 1.
