Judge rules against Cazaly

THE Supreme Court has dealt another blow to mining minnow Cazaly Resources in its battle to win ownership of the Shovelanna iron ore resource.
The court has ruled there was no evidence West Australian Premier Alan Carpenter and Rio Tinto boss Leigh Clifford had discussed the lucrative tenement.
A key plank in Cazaly's legal protest against the West Australian Government's decision to strip Shovelanna from it and hand it back to Rio Tinto was the examination of a December 2005 meeting in London between then resources minister Mr Carpenter and Mr Clifford and a discussion between the pair and incoming resources minister John Bowler.

Cazaly subpoenaed Mr Carpenter, Mr Clifford, Mr Bowler and Rio Tinto's iron ore head, Sam Walsh, late last year to appear in the Supreme Court but Justice Michael Buss terminated the subpoenas earlier this month.

Announcing the reasons for his decision, Justice Buss said yesterday that there was no evidence the two had discussed the disputed iron ore tenement at their London meeting.

Cazaly wanted to quiz the four men over the Government's decision to hand Shovelanna back to Rio Tinto.

But Justice Buss said he was not satisfied there was any reason to call Mr Carpenter and Mr Clifford to the witness box.

"It is not appropriate that Mr Carpenter or Mr Clifford be required to give oral evidence, or swear an affidavit, as to any communications or dealings they may have made with Mr Bowler in relation to the relevant matters, and which may have been the source of any knowledge Mr Bowler may have had of those matters," he said.

"It is Mr Bowler's knowledge, if any, and not the source of his knowledge, that is relevant."

Mr Bowler, who took over as resources minister when Mr Carpenter became premier in January 2006, has been ordered to file an affidavit on the issue.

The former minister was sacked last month after the West Australian Corruption and Crime Commission revealed he had leaked confidential cabinet information to lobbyists Julian Grill and Brian Burke.

Cazaly pounced on Shovelanna in August 2005 when Rio Tinto let its lease on the Pilbara tenement lapse.

Rio Tinto called on the state Government to intervene and in April, Mr Bowler overturned Cazaly's lease and handed back Shovelanna using a little-known state iron ore policy.
