NOTICE OF APPEAL IN TERMS OF SECTION 96(1) OF THE MINERAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT ACT, 2002
The Centre for Environmental Rights (CER) filed a notice of appeal on 21 September 2020 against a decision by the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy (or delegated official) to grant Mineral Sands Resources (Pty) Ltd (MSR) and Tormin Mineral Sands (Pty) Ltd an amendment to their mining rights under section 102 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA). The appeal seeks to set aside the amendment and suspend operations at the Tormin Mine extension, arguing that the process was used to unlawfully expand mining areas without proper public participation or consideration of the site's high biodiversity value.
