【Catamarca Province, Argentina Halts Issuance of Lithium Mining Permits】

【Catamarca Province, Argentina Halts Issuance of Lithium Mining Permits】

On March 14th, a court in Catamarca Province, Argentina announced that it will stop issuing new mining permits and has ordered environmental impact assessments for local lithium mining projects. This order stems from disputes between local lithium miners and indigenous residents over water usage issues. It covers the Los Patos River-Salar del Hombre Muerto salt flat area, where international lithium mining giant Arcadium Lithium Plc is currently operating a lithium mining project in the region.
