12. (1) The Joint Venturers shall in respect of mining area “C” —
(a) continue with an exploration and study programme satisfactory to the State and keep the State fully informed at three monthly intervals thereafter of progress in respect thereof and complete such programme by 31st December, 1972;
(b) by 31st December, 1974 submit to the Minister detailed proposals for a plant for secondary processing of iron ore from Mining Area “C” together with detailed proposals for any works or services or further works or services as are necessary in connection therewith;
(c) the detailed proposals for such plant shall be for a plant capable ultimately of treating not less than two million (2,000,000) tons of iron, ore per annum and shall contain provision that —
(i) the plant will by the end of the year 1976 have the capacity to process at an annual rate of and will during the year 1977 process not less than five hundred thousand (500,000) tons of iron ore;
(ii) production will progressively increase so that the plant will by the end of the year 1978 have the capacity to process at an annual rate of and will during the year 1979 process not less than one million (1,000,000) tons of iron ore and by the end of the year 1982 will have the capacity to process at an annual rate of not less than and will during the year 1983 process not less than two million (2,000,000) tons of iron ore;
(iii) the capital cost involved (exclusive of the cost referred to in clause 9(1) hereof) will be not less than sixteen million dollars ($16,000,000) unless the Joint Venturers utilise a less expensive but at least equally satisfactory method of secondary processing than any at present known to either party.
PROVIDED THAT if the Joint Venturers satisfy the Minister that the Joint Venturers’ mining operations are not producing quantities of iron ore suitable for treatment at a rate of two million (2,000,000) tons of iron ore per annum on an economic basis then the Minister may approve modified or altered proposals and reduce the figure of two million (2,000,000) tons to a figure the Minister considers appropriate having regard to the prevailing circumstances but to not less than one million (1,000,000) tons per annum with provision for progressive increase to two million (2,000,000) tons per annum on a revised programme and on approving such modified or altered proposals the Minister may approve corresponding variations of the provisions of sub‑paragraphs (i) (ii) and/or (iii) of this paragraph.
(2) If by the 31st December, 1974 such proposals are submitted by the Joint Venturers to the Minister the State shall within two months of the receipt thereof give to the Joint Venturers notice either of its approval of the proposals (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) or of any objections raised or alterations desired thereto and in either of the latter cases shall afford the Joint Venturers an opportunity to consult with and to submit new proposals to the Minister. If within thirty days of receipt of such notice agreement is not reached as to the proposals the Joint Venturers may within a further period of thirty days elect by notice to the State to refer to arbitration as hereinafter provided any dispute as to the reasonableness of the Minister’s decision. If by the award on arbitration the question is decided in favour of the Joint Venturers the Minister shall be deemed to have then approved the proposals of the Joint Venturers.
(3) If such proposals are not approved by the Minister or if by the award on arbitration the question is decided in favour of the Minister the State will not grant mining area “C” to any party other than the Joint Venturers until after 31st December, 1975. Thereafter the State will not grant mining area “C” to any other party on terms more favourable on the whole than those available to the Joint Venturers until after the 31st December, 1979.
(4) If and when the Minister has approved or is deemed to have approved the Joint Venturers’ proposals pursuant to this clause the Joint Venturers may apply for a mineral lease of mining area “C” or any part or parts thereof (not exceeding in aggregate area 300 square miles inclusive of the areas of the original mineral lease granted under clause 8(2)(a) hereof and the second mineral lease if granted under clause 11(6) hereof and in the shape of a parallelogram or parallelograms) and the Minister shall cause any necessary survey to be made of the land so applied for (the cost of the survey to the State to be recouped to the State by the Joint Venturers on demand after completion of the survey) and shall cause to be granted to the Joint Venturers as tenants in common in equal shares a mineral lease (hereafter referred to as “the third mineral lease”) of the land so applied for (notwithstanding the survey in respect thereof has not been completed but subject to such corrections as may be necessary to accord with the survey when completed) for iron ore in the form of the lease in the Schedule hereto for a term which subject to the payment of rents and royalties hereinbefore mentioned and the performance and observance by the Joint Venturers of their obligations under the mineral lease shall be for a period commencing from the date of issue of the third mineral lease for a period co‑extensive with the residue of the term then unexpired of the original mineral lease granted under clause 8(2)(a) hereof with rights to successive renewals of twenty‑one (21) years upon the same terms and subject to earlier determination upon the cessation or determination of this Agreement.
(5) If and when such proposals are approved or deemed to have been approved by the Minister the Joint Venturers will as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter commence the construction of the plant and of the other works and services and proceed progressively therewith and complete the same in accordance with the proposals and within the respective times specified herein.
(6) If the Joint Venturers’ proposals as finally approved or as deemed to have been approved by the Minister require the State to provide any services or facilities (including any expanded services or facilities which from time to time are considered necessary by the Minister) the State will provide the same subject to the Joint Venturers bearing and paying the capital cost involved if reasonably attributable to or resulting from the Joint Venturers’ project and operations hereunder and reasonable charges for maintenance and operation except operation charges in respect of education, hospital and police services, except where and to the extent the State otherwise agrees.
(7) If the Joint Venturers fail to comply with paragraph (a) of subclause (1) of this clause or if the proposals are not submitted by the Joint Venturers to the Minister by the 31st December, 1974 or if the proposals are so submitted but are not approved or deemed to have been approved by the Minister before 31st December, 1975 then subject to the provisions of subclause (3) of this clause the Joint Venturers shall cease to have any rights to mining area “C” and —
(a) the Joint Venturers shall not after the 31st day of December, 1976 export iron ore won from the mineral lease and/or the second mineral lease at an annual rate in excess of three million (3,000,000) tons of direct shipping ore and two million (2,000,000) tons of fine ore, fines or other iron ore per annum unless prior to the 31st day of December, 1978 the Minister shall have approved in writing of the Joint Venturers entering into a contract or contracts for export of ore after the 31st day of December, 1980 at an annual rate in excess of three million (3,000,000) tons of direct shipping ore and two million (2,000,000) tons of fine ore, fines or other iron ore per annum provided that if the Joint Venturers have complied with paragraph (a) of subclause (1) of this clause and can demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Minister that it is impracticable to submit proposals acceptable to the Minister which could be economically viable then the Minister may at his discretion permit the export of greater tonnages than those abovementioned in this paragraph;
(b) if it is proved at any time hereafter that the iron ore deposits in the area of the second mineral lease (excluding for the purposes of this paragraph mineral lease 235 SA) are greater by twenty per cent in the aggregate for each of the forty‑eight million (48,000,000) tons of high grade ore (sixty per cent (60%) and higher in FE content) and the seventy‑nine million (79,000,000) tons of low grade ore (minus sixty per cent (60%) in FE content) now estimated to be available the conditions of this Agreement in relation to the future mining of iron ore from the mineral lease (including the second mineral lease) shall be renegotiated by the parties hereto with a view to increasing the obligations and commitments of the Joint Venturers to the State as determined by mutual agreement and failing agreement as shall be determined by arbitration. In determining the new conditions regard shall be had to the overall economies of mining, transporting, processing and marketing of the additional iron ore available. Additional obligations or commitments to be undertaken by the Joint Venturers as part of such new conditions may take the form of higher royalties, rents, wharfage and other charges (or a combination of such charges) or contributions for the purpose of providing additional works or services or of some form of processing iron ore or a combination of any of these. On the determination by agreement or by arbitration of such new conditions this Agreement shall be deemed to have been varied by mutual consent of the parties hereto and as so varied shall operate accordingly;”
