Steve Manteaw sees nothing wrong with the government's refusal to renew the Damang mining lease for Goldfields.
An internal memo announcing the decision by the government to workers of Goldfields indicated that they will ensure their workers are protected as a result of the refusal.
Goldfields indicated that they are working with the government to ensure that they get the approval but until then, they are preparing to leave the lease on April 18, 2025 when it expires.
