Facts of the Case
Background
Techmate Engineering, owner of Goodenough 7 and 8 mining claims since 1988, sought an interdict to stop White Nile from mining on its claims. White Nile claimed to hold Special Grant SG 8565 but refused to produce it. The Provincial Mining Director ruled in White Nile's favor despite lack of documentation, prompting Techmate to file this urgent interdict application pending a review.
