Existing Mining Rights – An existing mining right holder (rights held on date of
commencement of MCIII) with 26% BEE shareholding shall be recognised as
BEE compliant for the duration of the mining right held. When an existing mining
right is renewed, the ownership requirements of MCIII will apply and these
companies will have to amend its shareholding to comply with MCIII.
Pending Applications – Pending applications which were lodged and accepted
before the commencement of MCIII shall be processed in terms of the 2010
Mining Charter which only required 26% BEE shares. These mining right holders
must within 5 years from the effective date of such mining right increase its
shareholding to 30% as prescribed by MCIII.
