Gary (63) and Justin Mark Mitchell (31) have been granted bail, and will return to court in 2025, alongside Jan Aucamp (64).
Two mining executives, Gary and Justin Mark Mitchell , have been released on R5 000 each after they on Monday appeared in the Praktiseer Magistrate’s Court in Limpopo.
According to Limpopo Hawks spokesperson Warrant Officer Lethunya Mmuroa, the arrests followed the earlier apprehension of geologist Jan Aucamp , who was arrested by the Hawks at Triton Mineral Africa in Steelpoort on December 12, 2023. Aucamp was allegedly found with piles of chrome valued at R20m and was unable to produce a permit for its possession.
Further investigations revealed that the Mitchells, who reportedly held top positions at Triton Mineral Africa, were also linked to the illegal chrome operation. The case was referred to the Director of Public Prosecution, which led to the issuance of arrest warrants for the two executives.
