Join Werksmans Attorneys for an exclusive in-person seminar exploring the latest legislative developments shaping South Africa’s mining sector.

Our legal specialists will examine the proposed amendments contained in the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA) Amendment Bill and their implications for mining companies, investors, landowners and affected communities. The discussion will also consider Section 54 of the MPRDA, which governs disputes between mining right holders and landowners, as well as the impact of the Expropriation Act on mining rights, land ownership and early-stage exploration agreements.

This seminar offers valuable insights into the evolving regulatory landscape and practical guidance on navigating changing legal obligations, stakeholder engagement and emerging risks.
