Otmane El Rhazi : Brazilian port license in spotlight as Kazakh, Indian miners head to court

Otmane El Rhazi from Mining Weekly | Ferrous Metals Home.



Brazil's public prosecutor is seeking an injunction on a port licence that could be central to a London court battle between two mining companies run by Kazakh and Indian tycoons. Documents seen by Reuters on Thursday showed that Brazil's Federal Prosecution Service and Office of the District Attorney of the State of Bahia are seeking to suspend the port installation licence granted by Brazil's Federal Environmental Agency (IBAMA) on September 19. They say the agency withheld environmental impact data and failed to ensure the proper participation of the public in its assessments.
