Summary
A letter from Webber Wentzel to the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy regarding an application under section 96(2) of the MPRDA to suspend a decision to grant a mine extension at Tormin Mine.
Key insights
- The document concerns an application under section 96(2) of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) to suspend a decision made under section 102(1) of the same Act, which granted a mine extension at Tormin Mine.
- The client of Webber Wentzel argues that Regulation 74 of the Amendment MPRDA Regulations applies to appeals, but there are no specific regulations governing applications for the suspension of a decision pending an internal appeal.
- To address environmental impacts and risks associated with the section 102(1) mining extension, the client appointed independent experts whose evidence was submitted to the Minister via a 'Response' document, including affidavits from Susan Brownlie, Nick Helme, Peter Carrick, and Merle Sowman.
- Acknowledging that the 'Response' contains new material, the client requests that the Minister allow the Rights Holders 10 working days to respond to specific sections of the Response and the accompanying expert affidavits.
