A court in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais has revoked the environmental permits granted to Votorantim for its Extremo Norte zinc project, arguing that the studies delivered by the company are not enough to show the environmental feasibility of the venture such as the impact of the lowered water table.
In a statement, Votorantim said it met all the legal requirements and delivered all the studies, and that it will take the “legal measures” to go ahead with Extremo Norte.
