Unprocessed lithium ore belonging to Xingfeng Investment, estimated to be about 90,000 metric tonnes, has been deposited at the Walvis Bay harbour in the past week.
This is despite the Ministry of Mines and Energy indicating that Xingfeng does not possess a removal or transport permit for lithium.
When nbc News arrived at the Walvis Bay port, a heap of unprocessed lithium ore estimated to be about 90,000 metric tonnes was visible.
Judge Ramon Maasdorp has postponed the judgement in the case of Xinfeng Investment - a Chinese lithium miner whose mining license was revoked by the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
The judgment has been set for next week Friday.
The Ministry of Mines and Energy's Acting Executive Director, Bryan Eiseb explained that they had revoked the license after Xinfeng was found to have deliberately filed incorrect information during the application process and that the company failed to adequately explain the misleading information.
Xingfeng Investment has admitted to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Natural Resources that a monthly service fee of N$10,000 is being paid to the Daure Daman Traditional Authority for a consent letter.
