Someone must confident

Closed Record

This means:

➡️ The case file is finished and sealed

➡️ No new applications can be added

➡️ Only enforcement of the original judgment is allowed

The plaintiff was NOT seeking enforcement — they were reopening.

So their case is blocked.

⭐ 4. Bottom Line

The ruling you provided is very positive for Arc Minerals.

It confirms:

the plaintiff cannot enforce anything

the plaintiff cannot reopen the case

the court already closed the matter in 2022

Arc does not need to fear execution

Arc’s legal position is stronger going into the 22 December ruling

Arc’s opponents’ legal strategy is essentially collapsing.

If you want, I can also:

🔹 summarise the August ruling (the one they tried to stay)

🔹 explain what is expected to happen on 22 December

🔹 give a simple timeline of the whole Arc legal

🔹 3. The plaintiff’s strategy is weakened.

The court basically said the plaintiff is bringing applications in a case that legally no longer exists.

🔹 4. Nothing can be enforced against Arc right now.

The plaintiff cannot use the court to block Arc’s titles or operations.

🔹 5. The court is critical of the plaintiff’s approach.

This usually carries through to the final ruling.

👉 Overall: This ruling strongly favours Arc and increases the likelihood of a positive outcome on 22 December.

📘 3. Simple Explanation of Key Legal Terms

🟦 Jurisdiction

This means the court’s power to hear a case.

If the court says “I have no jurisdiction,” it means:

➡️ I cannot legally deal with this matter.

➡️ Any application made here is invalid.

This is exactly what happened here — good for Arc.

🟩 Execution / Stay of Execution

“Execution” means enforcing a court order, like:

seizing property

collecting money

enforcing a judgement

A “stay” means pause.

But the judge said:

➡️ There is no order to enforce.

➡️ So there is nothing to pause.

🟨 FIFA

In Zambia, FIFA = Writ of FiFa = Writ of Execution

It’s a legal document used to seize property to satisfy a judgement.

Arc’s opponents wanted to set aside the FIFA, but:

➡️ The court said it had no jurisdiction to even look at that.

Again, good for Arc.

🟧 Consent Judgment (2022)

This is the MOST important part.

A consent judgment is an agreement between the parties, signed off by the court, which ends the case completely.

The judge said:

➡️ The 2022 Consent Judgment closed the entire matter

➡️ Nothing is left to argue

➡️ No further applications should exist

So What Does This Mean for Arc Minerals?

1️⃣ This ruling is actually GOOD for Arc Minerals.

Why?

Because the court says:

The earlier case was already closed in 2022 by a consent judgment.

Therefore, the plaintiff (Zambia Mineral Exchange Corp.) should not have brought more applications.

And the court has no jurisdiction to reopen or enforce anything.

This strongly supports Arc’s position in the bigger dispute.

🟢 2️⃣ The plaintiff's attempt to keep fighting is blocked.

The judge says:

No orders exist that Arc needs to “execute” or “stay.”

The plaintiff cannot enforce anything.

The plaintiff’s side is basically stuck.

🟢 3️⃣ The plaintiff’s legal position is weakened.

Because the court confirms:

The 2022 consent judgment ended the whole dispute.

Everything after that is on “closed record.”

The plaintiff cannot keep bringing new motions.

⭐ Overall Summary: What This Means

This ruling confirms:

Arc Minerals is in a strong position because:

The case was already closed in 2022

The plaintiff cannot enforce anything

The plaintiff’s new attempts have no legal basis

The court has no jurisdiction to reopen the matter

Arc doesn’t need a stay because there's nothing to stay

This is procedurally very favourable for Arc Minerals in the wider legal fight.

If you want, I can also:

✅ Summarise the whole ruling in 5 bullet points

✅ Explain how this affects Arc’s December 22 ruling

✅ Explain what “jurisdiction”, “execution”, “FIFA”, or “consent judgment” mean in simple terms

Just tell me.

You said:

Yes please

ChatGPT said:

Here is a very simple 5-point summary, followed by how it affects Arc Minerals on 22 December, and simple explanations of the key legal terms.

✅ 1. Five-Point Summary of the Whole Ruling

Arc and Kopara asked the court to “stay execution” of a ruling from 7 August 2025.

The judge said there is nothing to execute — the earlier ruling was only about jurisdiction, not something that can be enforced.

The judge also said that the whole case was already closed in 2022 because of a Consent Judgment.

Because the case is closed, the court has no jurisdiction to hear new applications from the plaintiff.

Therefore, the temporary stay was removed, and Arc effectively wins this application.

🟢 2. What This Means for Arc Minerals on 22 December

This ruling puts Arc in a very strong position for the upcoming decision on 22 December. Here’s why:

🔹 1. The court confirms that the case ended in 2022.

This supports Arc’s argument that the plaintiff’s recent actions are invalid.

🔹 2. The court says it has no jurisdiction to reopen the matter.

If the judge repeats this point on 22 December, Arc wins again.

🔹 3. The plaintiff’s strategy is weakened.

The court basically said the plaintiff is bringing applications in a case that legally no longer exists.

🔹 4. Nothing can be enforced against Arc right now.

The plaintiff canno

Someone very confident.

You could be possibly facing contempt of court

Which carries possibly jail term . I hope you

Don’t lose any sleep over this.

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MINING SECTOR: BHP IMPRESSES KABUSWE WITH CAPACITY BUILDING MODEL FOR EMERGING MINERS

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES IN THE MINING SECTOR: BHP IMPRESSES KABUSWE WITH CAPACITY BUILDING MODEL FOR EMERGING MINERS

By Lucy Shawa

The Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited (BHP) a global mining leader, has expressed interest to share technical expertise with players in Zambia’s mining sector.

During a bilateral meeting with the Zambian delegation at the ongoing Mining Indaba in Cape Town, BHP’s Head of Government Relations, Brenden Augustin, highlighted the company’s Capacity Building Model designed to empower emerging mining companies, including artisanal and small-scale miners, with essential mining expertise.

Mr. Augustin emphasized that BHP aims to extend this initiative to Zambia, which will help address challenges such as informal mining activities and child labor.

He also expressed BHP’s interest in green energy minerals, particularly copper, coal, and fertilizer production, as part of its strategic focus.

The company is currently evaluating potential investment opportunities to partner with the Zambian Government.

BHP is also exploring investment opportunities in the Kalahari and Katanga basin.

Mines and Minerals Development Minister Hon. Paul C. Kabuswe, welcomed BHP’s expression and encouraged the company to utilize data from the ongoing aerial survey conducted by X-Callibur.

He stressed the need for a clear framework to guide collaboration between BHP and the Zambian Government, underscoring Zambia’s commitment to fostering diverse and mutually beneficial partnerships with investors.

BHP, an Australian-based world-leading resources company, continues to explore opportunities to contribute to sustainable mining practices and economic growth in Zambia.

Ministry of Mines Permanent Secretary Dr. Hapenga Kabeta, Zambia National Service Commander, Lieutenant-General Maliti Solochi and other senior Government officials from the Zambian delegation were also part of the meeting.

Looks like the 2 holes drilled at Muswema at those depths 775 metres and 997 metres depth they were looking for sulphide

mineralisation .

First Phase of Proof of Concept Study Completed at Cheyeza East

This was done in 2020 and the cheyeza East deposit was found to be technically fesible and economically viable .

Since then we have carried out lots more drilling and deposit has become bigger and now anglo have drilled one kilometres east of cheyeza East and found 45 metres mineralisation ,will be interesting to see the grades .

Interesting reply to Charles question , have we hit jackpot, Vassilios replied we’re not in it but on edge .

GLA

We could also get update on the other licence in Botswana PL162/2017, which they said 6 holes , I have estimated they should be completed by now . GLA
