This question was attempted by just a few candidates and the performance of those who attempted it was poor.
The procedure for the acquisition of mining titles is

• Submission of  the coordinates of the area of interest to the Mine Cadastre Office
• Confirmation of the availability of the area from the Mining Cadastre Office
• Payment of prescribed fee for the number of cadastre units
• Confirmation of the customary owners of the land
• Agreement with the host community (signing of agreement)
• Consultation with the government agency in charge of the mine title to commence processing of title deeds
• Administration of the title
• Establishment of the concession coordinates

The considerations that a possessor of a mining title is supposed to bear in mind are:

• The holder must conduct exploration activities in a safe, friendly, skilful, efficient and workmanlike manner
• Observe environmental regulations in the operations
• Be socially responsible to the community in which they operate
• Get the consent of the LGAs in which exploration is to take place
• Restore land to normalcy after exploration by filling up all shafts and ditches
• Seek approval of water resources management agencies before redirecting water courses.
• Compensate users of land for damages made to their lands
• Submit periodic reports to appropriate agencies of government as may be required
• Pay all dues to appropriate agencies of government regularly
