Savannah Resources

After a ruling by the Portuguese state, Savannah Resources is allowed to immediately resume field work at the Barroso lithium project; a previously issued injunction was lifted. The state describes the project as being of national and European significance and points to its contribution to employment and growth. Barroso was classified as a strategic project under the Critical Raw Materials Act and received pledged state aid of up to €110 million. Savannah intends to complete the field programme and report on progress and the final feasibility study. » More on de.investing.com

A community filed an injunction at the Administrative and Financial Court of Mirandela against the state's order for provisional land access to the Barroso lithium project, which under Portuguese law is automatically suspended pending judicial review. Savannah must temporarily halt work on the affected private properties but continues field activities on company-owned land and on areas with alternative access rights, including wildfire-preparation work. The project was designated strategic and has commitments for Portuguese grants of up to €110 million; Savannah is preparing a timely response and expects a similar outcome to earlier rulings that were decided in the project's favor. » More on de.investing.com
