Anglo American responds to SA Government`s draft mining industry Charter
The South African Department of Minerals and Energy Affairs yesterday released a
draft mining industry Charter. Aspects of the draft Charter are not feasible
and are unacceptable. However, as confirmed today by Department of Minerals and
Energy Affairs spokesman, Mr Mngomezulu, the document is government`s "first
position" which is being "submitted for discussion" with the industry in the
clear expectation that it will be "adapted over time".
Having promoted the concept of a Charter for the industry for some time, Anglo
American and the industry intend to engage strongly in order to arrive at a
Charter that is well considered, practically feasible, and supportive of the
goals of the Minerals Development Act as well as of the overall health of the
mining industry and the South African economy.
