Mining & Energy E-Alert

Please click here for the latest Mining & Energy E-Alert on the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the African National Congress (ANC) holding its bi-annual strategy meeting or lekgotla from 27 to 29 July 2012. Among a number of exigent issues, the NEC addressed the question of greater state intervention in the South African mining sector. It announced that it would finalise a list of strategic minerals by September that will become the target of domestic beneficiation quotas and potentially even targeted nationalisation.
