In Puertego there are currently 8 active demining groups operating with most being NGO charity organizations who had a special law passed for them in 2025 making them pay no taxes to the government in order to free up more capital for demining efforts. Finding the location of the mines with no witness or map record is a very difficult task that needs very specific tools, and demands a lot of time, and trained staff, and therefore also a lot of investment. Most remaining mines are found in the countries central regions however there are still pockets of mines found in Puertego's eastern regions. Current government funding for demining efforts are worth $120 million with it being estimated Puertego will need another 15-20 years to clear out all the mines in the country's borders assuming funding stays where it is currently. | In Puertego there are currently 8 active demining groups operating with most being NGO charity organizations who had a special law passed for them in 2025 making them pay no taxes to the government in order to free up more capital for demining efforts.
