Central Rand Gold to resist wind-up application

London- and Johannesburg-listed gold mining company Central Rand Gold (CRG) has engaged legal advisers to defend a wind-up application. The company said in a Stock Exchange News Service announcement on Tuesday that the application by empowerment partner Puno Gold Investments was to wind-up CRG South Africa, the group’s principal operating subsidiary and the holder of all of the mining and prospecting rights.
