African village halts lithium mine licenses
A Brazilian court has rejected mining licenses for the Sigma Lithium mine in the Calambola region of Minas Gerais, in response to an urgent lawsuit filed by the traditional community of the area, known as "Pau." The court confirmed that the community's lands fall within the project’s impact zone, which requires prior and transparent consultations with the local residents, especially as excavation and blasting activities continue near their lands. The court decided to suspend environmental licenses and prohibit the issuance of new ones, while also imposing a fine on the company if it continues operations, due to the potential harm to the community. The mine's production capacity is 330,000 tons of lithium oxide concentrate annually.
