  • Athd Africa Ventures (Pty) Ltd (AAV) argued that a "Second (FINAL) Granting Letter" issued on 14 April 2015 rendered the first granting letter null and void, meaning the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) could no longer entertain appeals regarding the first letter.
  • The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) contends that AAV's claims are flawed because a granting letter is merely a communication tool and not the actual administrative decision to grant a mining right.
  • The CER intends to initiate review proceedings in the High Court against the Minister of Mineral Resources' decision to grant the mining right to AAV, and requests that the current appeal be suspended until those proceedings are resolved.
