JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – The South Gauteng High Court on Friday granted gold mining companies leave to appeal against a finding amending the common law in respect of general damages claims regarding the class certification judgment handed down by the court in May.

It, however, refused leave to appeal on the certification of silicosis and tuberculosis classes.
 
The companies were considering the judgment.
 
The Occupational Lung Disease Working Group, comprising gold miners African Rainbow Minerals, Anglo American South Africa, AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, Harmony Gold and Sibanye Gold, on Thursday reiterated that achieving a mutually acceptable comprehensive settlement regarding the class certification judgment was preferable to protracted litigation.
