Protests against lithium mining in Covas do Barroso continue this Wednesday

Opponents of a lithium exploration project in Covas do Barroso are continuing their protest for the second consecutive day on 28 October, blocking access to prospecting sites held by the company Savannah. While the company stated that no work was scheduled at the protest site for this week and that it continues to follow its own project timeline, the local association maintains its resistance against the government-authorized administrative easement allowing access to community-held lands.
