"Another meeting of the lithium mining working group took place
Another joint meeting of the working group on lithium mining in Cínovec took place at the regional office. Representatives of the Geomet company, which owns the rights to lithium mining in Cínovec, presented the current status of the project to members of the working group.
Press release dated September 5, 2024
Lithium mining is being prepared by the company Geomet, in which the majority is owned by Severočeské doly, a member of the ČEZ group. The company wants to extract ore containing lithium from the Cínovec mine in the Ore Mountains, with mining expected to begin between 2026 and 2028.
Representatives of the Geomet company presented the current status of the project to the members of the working group, including the governor and other representatives of the regional leadership, mayors of the affected municipalities, officials and experts, and at the same time informed that the company is conducting negotiations regarding a possible conflict of interests due to the planned declaration of the Krušná Hora PLA. The mayors of the affected municipalities were most interested in the transfer station, which the company Geomet wants to implement in accordance with their requirements (resulting appearance, noise, disturbance of the landscape, etc.).
