Johannesburg - The Chamber of Mines has issued an ultimatum to Minister of Mineral Affairs, Mosebenzi Zwane, to withdraw the proposed moratorium on mining licenses as issued in the Government Gazette yesterday, or prepare for another court battle.
The Chamber released a statement this afternoon, saying it has taken legal advice on what they deem unlawful action by the minister.
They say the ‘effect of the notice is to pave the way for the Minister to issue a further notice to prevent the issuing of new mining and exploration rights, which will have a negative impact on investment in the sector’.
