Axiom Mining Limited has began litigation at the High Court over the government’s handling of its export permit application.
Axiom General Manager, Dr. Phil Tagini said in a statement Axiom has filed a claim for judicial review against the decision of the Minerals Board and a misfeasance claim against the Minister of Mines Bradley Tovosia and the Director of Mines Nicholas Biliki for failing to properly exercise their powers under Regulations 70 and 71 of the Mines and Minerals Regulations pertaining to the company’s export permit application.
He said there are subsequent requests for materials by the Ministry of Mines which the law does not require for the consideration of an export permit.
