JOHANNESBURG, Sept 5 (Reuters) - South Africa's mines ministry on Thursday said Australia's Orion Minerals (ORN) could go ahead with development of a 4 billion rand ($263 million) copper-zinc project in Northern Cape province.
"This latest investment confirms that South Africa remains a preferred investment destination for mining," the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy said in a statement.
This week Orion, which operates in gold, copper, nickel and platinum, said the mining rights were valid for an initial 24 years and could be renewed on application.
