Bikita Minerals loses fight over ‘stolen’ lithium ore

Lithium producer Bikita Minerals has lost a case in which it had approached the High Court seeking an interdict against Aurion Resources over some lithium ore it claimed had been stolen from its mine.

Bikita Minerals dragged Aurion Resources, the officer in charge ZRP CID Flora and Fauna Unit in Masvingo and the officer commanding ZRP Masvingo province to the High Court over the ore.

However, Justice Sunsley Zisengwe in his determination said Bikita Minerals in its draft order did not state that second tests be done in South Africa.
