NOW HERE IS THE APPEAL PROCESS:

https://www.gov.za/services/mining-and-water/apply-mining-right

1. Apply online
2. Apply for environmental authorisation at the same time.
3. Pay the non-refundable application fee.
4. If the system accepts the application, you will be notified. You must then notify and consult all interested and affected parties within 180 days from the date of the notice.

mce-anchorHow long does it take

• 1- If your application meets all the requirements, the regional manager will notify you in writing within 14 days of receipt of the application if it has been accepted. The regional manager will instruct you to consult with the landowner, the occupier of the land and all other affected parties.
• 2- If the application is not successful the regional manager will return the application to you within 14 days.
• 3- If the Minister refuses to grant a mining right, you will be informed in writing, within 30 days, stating the reasons for the refusal.

CONCLUSION:
+++++++++++++
COMPANY GET NOTIFIED WITHIN 14 DAYS IF UNSUCCESSFUL! (WE PASSED THAT STAGE)
COMPANY GET NOTIFIED WITHIN 30 DAYS IF REFUSED (PASSED THAT STAGE)

Hence we are over 130 days from the date of submission, that take me to (1), We are in the advance stage reconciling with all affected parties and ministerial decision should be finalised by early November . All are looking very positive. imo
