xstrata's take on jv/mining rights , page-18

Peet (X's PGM/ alloys boss) refers to people who thought they were well connected to the PM or the minister making claims (that they obviously couldn't keep- that's US.) He did sound sympathetic and mentioned our wins in the lower courts. He stated frankly that we had LOST the rights- NOT that they were tied up in an administrative process that had the inevitable conclusion of returning our rights.

well someone here is lying, is the DMR lying? they said we have lost the prospeting rights to the 2 farms but they also said if we consult with the natives, we will get them back.
