Miner Sylvania has been served with a summons regarding a claim being brought by Platmin South Africa, a subsidiary of Platmin, declaring that Platmin is a co-owner of the tailings, or, alternatively, the co-owner of the platinum group metals contained in the Lannex Tailings Dam situated on the Farm Grootboom in the District of Lydenburg, South Africa. The claim is the same in nature as a motion put before the High Court by Boynton against Sylvania in 2009, and the firm said it will continue to refute the claims.
