[miningmx.com] -- THE award of rights to mine uranium in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to UK listed firm, Brinkley Mining, is being investigated by the country's prosecutors, reported Bloomberg News.

"We're happy with our contract," Gerard Holden, chairman of Brinkley, told Bloomberg News. "We're confident due process will prevail in the Congo," he said.

Bloomberg News said Fortunat Lumu, head of the DRC's Atomic Energy Commission, could not leave the DRC's capital Kinshasa until he had answered questions regarding the award to Brinkely Mining.
