South Africa, the world’s largest platinum producer, plans to release its reviewed Mining Charter, which stipulates rules on local ownership, within the next few weeks after earlier saying it would be completed by today.
The review will be published “within weeks,” Jeremy Michaels, spokesman for the Department of Mineral Resources, said by mobile phone today. Mines Minister Susan Shabangu said on June 30 that the review, which started last year, would be completed in August.
