VANCOUVER, BC, March 10, 2023 /CNW/ - Deep-South Resources Inc.

The effect of the order is that the Minister must resume the licence renewal application procedure and arrive at a new decision. The court noted that the facts presented by Haib Minerals (Deep-South's subsidiary) should not have been ignored in the evaluation process.

The court also states that the Minister and Mining Commissioner did not take in consideration the fact that the COVID 19 pandemic impacted the exploration program. The court also ordered the Ministry to pay the legal costs of Deep-South' subsidiary Haib Minerals.
