Facts of the Case
Background
Applicant Seldo Mining purchased mining claims from ARDA in 2009 that were previously mined by respondent G&W Industrial Minerals under a tribute agreement that expired in 1989. Despite the purchase and proper registration of the claims, respondent remained in unlawful occupation and continued extracting ore from the mining blocks. Multiple administrative determinations by the Mining Commissioner and Provincial Mining Director confirmed applicant's legal rights to the claims.
