Peter Leon has been invited by the Director-General of Mineral Resources, Sandile Nogxina, to participate as a regulatory and legal expert in the MIGDETT Competitiveness Task Team to look at the entire spectrum of issues that affect the competitiveness and growth of SA's mining industry. MIGDETT was established by government, labour and business in December 2008 to achieve two critical outcomes:

to help the industry manage the negative effects of the global economic crisis and to save jobs; and

to position the industry for growth and transformation in the medium to long-term.

MIGDETT is focused on producing a draft strategy by the commencement of the Mining Summit taking place on 30 and 31 March 2010. The inaugural meeting of the competitiveness task team took place on Monday, 15 February.
