Cerrado Gold Granted Injunction For Lagoa Salgada Project
Cerrado Gold (CERT.V) subsidiary Redcorp has been granted injunctive relief regarding the Portuguese Environmental Agency's unfavourable opinion for the Lagoa Salgada project, the company said on Wednesday.The injunction ensures that Redcorp continues to hold its concession contract for the project.The agency issued an unfavourable opinion after the statutory deadline of 50 business days had passed, following the reformulated project submission, a statement said. That deadline lapsed on January 22, 2026, without a final decision being lawfully issued. This resulted in "tacit" approval of the environmental impact assessment and the modified project that was submitted on November 8 last year., Cerrado said."We are pleased that the court has agreed with our position. The company continues to work with relevant stakeholders in Portugal towards a resolution that would see the Lagoa Salgada mine permitted and built," said board chair and chief executive Mark Brennan.The project has been recognized by the Portuguese government as a Project of National Interest (PIN) and is aligned with the objectives of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act.Cerrado Gold shares closed up $0.08, to $1.84 on Tuesday, on the TSX Venture Exchange.
