Most mining firms rely on their own diesel supplies to extract iron ore, diamonds, rutile and bauxite in the resource-rich country.
South Africa plans to publish a final version of its new Mining Charter for implementation by November, Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe said on Twitter.
The deadline for submission of written submissions into the #MiningCharter comes to an end this Friday, 31 August 2018. It is envisaged that the final Mining Charter will be published for implementation by November 2018. #ADUConference

Written feedback on the draft charter published June 15 can be submitted until Aug. 31. The set of rules is aimed at redistributing the benefits from South Africa’s mineral wealth more equally.
