Anglo Platinum has long owned "old order" prospecting rights to the nine farms, which were required to be converted to "new order" by April 30 2009. But years before that, prospecting rights were awarded over the nine farms by the DMR to other parties. The nine farms fall under the Modikwa joint venture, which dates to 2001, when Anglo Platinum formed a 50:50 entity with Johannesburg-listed African Rainbow Minerals, ARM. In September 2006 prospecting rights were awarded by the DMR over five of the farms, to Genorah, majority shareholder in Australia-listed Nkwe Platinum. On November 31 2010 the South African Constitutional Court, in a lengthy judgement, set aside the award of prospecting rights on two of Genorah's five farms. Nkwe Platinum's stock has been suspended from trading in Australia for more than two months. Prospecting rights have also been claimed for three of the Modikwa Deeps farms by Johannesburg-listed Bauba Platinum, and, to take the total to nine, one more, by the Sekhukhuni community.
