AI summary
The Labour Appeal Court considered whether the retained smelting and refining operations at Anglo American Platinum were regulated by the Mine Health and Safety Act or the Occupational Health and Safety Act. It held that the appeal was dismissed and that the Labour Court order was confirmed. The judgment also records that the retained operations received concentrate and carried out downstream industrial processing after extraction and initial beneficiation had been completed.
This appears to concern the statutory classification of certain surface processing operations and may be relevant to mining, health and safety, and labour law stakeholders.
