Set case by case
The schedule does not set one sum. The amount is decided for each case by the authority that issues it.
The Treasury lists this procedure without publishing a price and without naming the law behind it.

What this is
In the mining sector, fines and penalties are imposed by the Ministry of Mines, Industries and Technological Development on operators who violate applicable legislation. These sanctions aim to punish infractions and deter fraud. Commonly penalized offenses include conducting illegal mining activities, under-reporting ore production volumes, and the illicit marketing of minerals. When an operator is sanctioned, the authorities proceed to seal off clandestine sites, seize equipment and mineral products, and enforce compulsory collection of the penalties.
