Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The Court of Appeal has stayed hearing by a state-appointed provisional liquidator for splitting up Konkola Copper Mines and selling the assets. The stay on KCM liquidation proceedings has been granted to allow Vedanta and the Zambian government to proceed to arbitration, Vedanta Resources said in a filing to the Singapore Stock Exchange on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cZambian Court of Appeal has granted a stay in respect of any hearing of the merits of the Winding Up Petition and Amended Petition in respect of Konkola Copper Mines plc pending a decision in respect of the arbitration proceedings between Vedanta and ZCCM Investments Holdings plc (ZCCM),\u201d Vedanta said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arbitral tribunal has recently granted a partial final Award in which it has ruled that ZCCM has breached, and is in continuing breach of, the dispute resolution provisions in the shareholders\u201d agreement between amongst others ZCCM, Vedanta and the Government of Zambia,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo cure this breach ZCCM should immediately withdraw the petition and amended Petition and the provisional liquidator should be discharged, it added. Vedanta Resources held a 79.4 per cent stake in KCM while the Zambian government through ZCCM-IH holds the remaining 20.6 per cent.<\/p>\n

Vedanta has been locked in a dispute with the Zambian government since May 2019, when the Zambian government handed control of the mine to a liquidator. Legal arguments over the case have been heard in both Zambia and South Africa.<\/p>\n

Vedanta and Zambia are arbitrating in London over the KCM dispute, which began when the government accused Vedanta of failing to honour licence conditions, including promised investment. Vedanta has previously denied that KCM broke the terms of its licence.<\/p>\n

Provisional Liquidator Milingo Lungu had in December announced a restructuring plan involving splitting KCM into two subsidiary companies \u2014 KCM SmelterCo Limited and Konkola Mineral Resources Limited.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
