St Helena residents submit 1440 objections to mystery mining application on their doorstep
A recent application by Zucolox (Pty) Ltd to prospect for minerals, including copper, diamonds and tungsten, on two farms overlooking Beach Estate in Britannia Bay, St Helena Bay has sparked alarm and outrage. A 1440 signature petition by residents objects to the application – the first of its kind this far south on the West Coast. So far, the petition, and attempts to engage with Zucolox, have been met by a wall of silence.
