Summary
A letter from the South African Department of Mineral Resources to the Centre for Environmental Rights regarding a request for information under the Promotion of Access to Information Act, 2000, concerning the Optimum Colliery.
Key insights
- The Department of Mineral Resources partially granted a request for access to information regarding the Optimum Colliery, specifically granting access to records marked a, b, d, and e in paragraph "D" of the request.
- The Department of Mineral Resources cannot process a request for records regarding the transfer of assets of Optimum Coal Mine (or related companies/trusts) for rehabilitation upon premature closure and post-closure environmental impacts as contemplated in section 37A(4) of the Income Tax Act 1962, because the Department does not possess these records.
