The Mineral and Petroleum Resources and Development Act of 2002 (“MPRDA”) came into effect on 1 May 2004. In S3, it appoints the State through the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy of South Africa as the custodian of South Africa’s mineral resources and energy. As with most, if not all, State regulations, there are various protocols which need to be followed for the granting, issuing, refusing, controlling, administration and management of these resources.
