Constitutional Court upholds Aquila’s Gravenhage manganese mining right

The Constitutional Court has upheld a High Court judgment granting China-based Baowu Group subsidiary, Aquila Steel, a mining right over its Gravenhage manganese deposit, located in South Africa’s Northern Cape province. Aquila’s planned development of Gravenhage has been delayed for several years by an overlapping claim by Pan African Mineral Development Company (PAMDC).
