Cape Town - Kumba Iron Ore [JSE:KIO] said on Friday it expects to solve the dispute over mineral rights in its Sishen mine before an interim price deal with ArcelorMittal South Africa [JSE:ACL] expires in July next year.

Kumba, the world's 10th-largest iron ore producer and a unit of Anglo American [JSE:AGL], is contesting the government's granting of a prospecting right over a stake in its Sishen mine to Imperial Crown Trading (ICT).

ICT was given the right after ArcelorMittal South Africa failed to convert its mining right over that same stake and led to Kumba terminating a preferential supply deal with the steelmaker.

ArcelorMittal, a unit of the world's biggest steelmaker, last month reached a stop-gap agreement to buy ore from Kumba over the next year at about half of recent market prices.

"I think the mineral rights issue can certainly be sorted out (before the interim supply deal expires) but these issues are court processes and we are dependent on the availability of court dates," Kumba CEO Chris Griffith told reporters.

Griffith said the interim pricing agreement might need to be extended if the arbitration on the pricing dispute has not been concluded by then.

ArcelorMittal said on Tuesday it plans to buy ICT in a move to regain the mining right it lost and resolve the pricing dispute with Kumba. The company said it would cancel the acquisition should ICT's Sishen right be revoked.

ArcelorMittal South Africa CEO Nonkululeko Nyembezi-Heita said on Friday ICT losing the right would impact on South Africa's exports, manufacturing and other parts of the steel industry.

"This will therefore lead to erosion of South Africa's industrial capacity. Both the job creation and industrialisation at the heart of IPAP (the government's new industrialisation policy) will be out of the window," she told lawmakers.

Shares in Kumba were trading 1.48% higher at R354.15 by 09:51 am, while ArcelorMittal South Africa shares were down 0.17% at R86.61.
