BEE requirements as a condition to prospecting rights?
06 August 2015
My business partner and I have embarked on a new endeavour to explore the possibility of mining chrome on land... owned by myself and some of our neighbouring farms. We have been advised that we need to apply for prospecting rights. We submitted our application, but have now been advised that our application cannot succeed due to the fact that we are non-BEE compliant. Is this legally correct?
