Brazil suspends Sigma's lithium mine in Minas Gerais
A Brazilian court suspended Sigma Mineração SA's environmental licenses, halting lithium extraction at the Grota do Cirilo project. The decision follows a request from a quilombola community questioning the mine's proximity. Sigma disputes the ruling, claiming compliance with regulations. The mine is a significant lithium deposit in Minas Gerais. The court ordered a halt to new licenses pending further review. This follows a previous disruption in July due to alleged violations.
