Canada-based Star Diamond has made headway in its case to take joint venture (JV) partner Rio Tinto to court over its purported exercise of four options under an option and JV agreement relating to the Star-Orion South project, in Saskatchewan.
This week, a Court of Queen’s Bench for Saskatchewan found that Star Diamond had successfully met its onus of establishing a serious issue to be tried in the legal proceedings. But Judge Grant Currie reportedly said that the junior could face an uphill battle in proving its case.
