Report this content

Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Nordic Mining ASA ("Nordic Mining" or the "Company") on 5 March 2021 regarding the legal dispute with Artic Mineral Resources (AMR).

Oslo District Court has today ruled in favour of Nordic Rutile. The ruling rejects AMR's claim for exclusive right to the garnet on the Vevring side of the Engebø deposit and that Nordic Rutile has no rights to the said garnet. The ruling was expected, and Nordic Rutile will now focus on securing awarded legal expenses.

“The Oslo District Court ruling is as we expected, however, we are happy for the court’s confirmation that Nordic Rutile’s extraction rights are valid and that the company has the right to extract and - within the limits of the Norwegian Mining's Act - utilize garnet and all other minerals on the Vevring side of the Engebø deposit. We will now continue to realize the Engebø Rutile and Garnet Project”, says CEO Ivar S. Fossum.
