Haib prospecting licence refusal extended after Namibian mining ministry submits nonevidence ...

In an ongoing court case relating to the Ministry of Mines and Energy of Namibia refusing to grant copper explorer and developer Deep-South Resources a licence for its Haib copper project, the miner reports that, although the Ministry filed additional documents as part of the review record, these did not provide any evidence supporting the Ministry’s decision.

This follows the legal counsel of the Ministry’s failure, earlier this month, to file its defence affidavit for the refusal to grant the prospecting licence – EPL 3140.
