The Australian High Commission states that it has no authority to grant or deny mining rights for Mineral Commodities Ltd's (MRC) proposed titanium mine in Xolobeni, as such matters fall under South African law. The Commission confirms that MRC was unsuccessful in a 2006-07 application for funding under the Direct Aid Program and received no funds. While the Australian government does not oversee overseas activities of its companies, it expects compliance with applicable laws, including those regarding foreign bribery and international sanctions, and encourages adherence to OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.
