Oceana takes mine fight to court


Oceana Gold has had to resort to the courts in the Philippines to fight a local provincial governor seeking to "restrain any operations" at the Didipio mine, in northern Luzon. In an ASX update yesterday, Oceana said it had filed an injunction against any unauthorised restraint of its operations and a hearing date was set down for next Wednesday. "Subsequent to the governor's order, a local government unit prevented a large supply truck from accessing the mine site on Monday," Oceana said. Oceana had "proactively" halted truck movements, including of copper concentrate, to prevent any escalation. Oceana said that authority over the Didipio operation rested with the national Government and the Local Government Code of 1991 did not grant the provincial governor the authority to restrain any aspect of Didipio's operation.
