TAU Mining has recently partnered with Vedanta at the Gasmberg mine, TAU will become a key player in the daily operations of Gamsberg mine. TAU is responsible for various opencast mining services that consist of Drilling and Blasting, Road construction, Load and haul of diffent materials such as Softs, Watse and Ore.
The Northern Cape High Court has granted TAU Mining Contractors leave to appeal a ruling that denied it the right to immediately enforce a previous court order restoring possession of a disputed mining area at the Gamsberg Zinc Mine near Aggeneys.
In a judgment delivered on Friday, Judge Lawrence Lever ruled that TAU Mining had established reasonable prospects of success on appeal and granted leave to approach the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA).
The ruling means the dispute over whether Tau Mining may immediately enforce the spoliation order before the finalisation of appeals will now be determined by the SCA, adding another chapter to a complex legal battle involving mining rights, liens and access to one of South Africa’s largest zinc mining operations.
The latest development stems from a long-running legal battle between TAU Mining Contractors, Aveng Moolmans and Black Mountain Mining over access to a section of the Gamsberg Mine.
