The mining record of Nicaragua
245 mining concessions granted and 115 applications on MEM's Aug 2, 2024 list, the last it published, held by 162 named holders; 26 grants expire in 2027; 48 cooperatives with 3,605 members on the ministry's map; at least 149 mining deaths reported in the press.
The Ministerio de Energía y Minas published its list of mining concessions and applications monthly to quarterly until 2 August 2024 and has published nothing since, so this page holds every vintage still online as a series: who held what, what was applied for, and what dropped off between one list and the next. The ministry's map layers, exported as KML, add what the list never had: the mining cooperatives with their presidents and member counts, the beneficiation plants with their concessionaires and capacity, and the artisanal sites its delegations visit. The deaths come from the press, mostly exile outlets: güiriseros in Bonanza, Rosita, Siuna, La Libertad and Chontales, one at a time.

ⓘ
Rows the list marks Otorgado: a concession in force on the list's date. The list's own footnote excludes cancelled concessions and applications pending area verification, so it is a floor.ⓘ
Granted concessions whose printed FIN_VIG falls in 2027: the 25-year terms of the 2002 grant wave. A later list will show these dropping off as they are renewed under new numbers.6 lists read, from Mar 1, 2019 to Aug 2, 2024; 360 records on the last list, 162 named holders; 107 records that were on an earlier list and not on the last (cancelled, merged or granted under a new number). Read Sep 17, 2026. The ministry has not published a list since August 2024.

Placemarks on the ministry's COOPERATIVAS / COLECTIVOS MINEROS map, each with a president, member counts and extraction methods as the ministry wrote them.ⓘ
Placemarks on the PLANTELES MINEROS map: metallic and non-metallic plants and reserved areas, with concessionaire, product and installed capacity.Cooperatives in 4 departments; 7 of the plants process metallic ore. The layers are Google My Maps the ministry keeps, read as KML (last read Oct 4, 2026); the ministry can edit or unshare them at any time, and a layer whose name or size changes is held back until checked.
ⓘ
Counted from press headlines only; no Nicaraguan body publishes a per-fatality mining record, so the true number is undoubtedly higher.ⓘ
Events the headline itself places at an artisanal working, a güirisero's shaft or an illegal site, as against a concession holder's mine or plant.Spanish-language headlines naming Nicaraguan mining towns from 2013 to Sep 28, 2026, read daily through Google News (last pull Oct 10, 2026) and classified by a language model against the headline's own words. Most come from outlets publishing from exile.
MEM grants concessions and publishes no inspections, accidents or sanctions; INSS, the only body that would count occupational accidents by sector, answers HTTP 403 from abroad; MITRAB publishes nothing per mine. No Nicaraguan body publishes a per-fatality mining record.
No request has been filed. Ley 621 exists on paper; in practice the state stopped publishing the concession list itself in 2024, closed the domestic press and does not answer.
