VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 21, 2021 /CNW/ - Deep-South Resources
Inc. ("Deep-South" or "the Company") (TSXV: DSM) announces
that the Namibian legal counsel of the Company and its subsidiary,
Haib Minerals (Pty) Ltd ("Haib"), have amended and supplemented the
original application on behalf of Haib with the High Court of
Namibia for an order that the
Minister of Mines and Energy should grant the renewal of the Haib
Copper EPL 3140 licence within 30 days of the issuing of the
order.
The Ministry has not filed any documents supporting the process
followed by the Minister, the Mining Commissioner and the
Ministry's relevant officials assessing and deliberating on the
Haib renewal application for the Haib Copper EPL 3140 licence. This
lack of internal process documentation regarding the Minister's
decision to refuse the renewal of the licence was made evident in
the court proceedings, thereby providing no written evidence of a
meaningful evaluation of the merits of Haib's licence renewal
application.
It is to be assumed that the Minister did not receive any
documentation or evaluation by the Mining Commissioner or any of
his staff relating to the exploration activities carried out on the
Haib Copper licence. Therefore, the decision seemed to have been
taken without any paper trail showing a reasonable and fair
administrative process thus violating Haib's rights in terms of
Article 18 of the Namibian constitution.
The Company will provide regular updates in this regard and any
other matter concerning this situation.
Corporate update
While recovering Haib Copper mineral rights remains a top
priority for the Company, Management continues to seek another
copper project. Some projects have been identified and discussions
with their owners are taking place. The Company will provide an
update on the matter in due course.
