President of Savannah Resources, the concessionaire of the Barroso lithium mine in Trás-os-Montes, is confident about the approval of the Environmental Impact Study and guarantees that everyone will benefit from this investment of 110 million
The lithium that will leave the Barroso mine, in Trás-os-Montes, can build batteries for 5500 Nissan Leaf per year, says the president of Savannah Resources, the project's concession company
He looks at the controversial lithium mine in Covas do Barroso with optimism and guarantees that everyone will win: the company, the local population and also the country. And remember, as an example, how good it was for Castro Verde, in the Alentejo, the existence of the Somincor mine. While being photographed with a lithium stone in hand, the 65-year-old Australian manager says calmly that "it does not emit any type of radiation, you can rest assured".
In the video presentation of the Barroso mine everything seems peaceful, idyllic and even romantic. Were you able to live the next two decades with your family next to a lithium mine like this?
[short pause] Of course, yes. Barroso's project will have virtually no visible impact. My grandson, who lives in London, would grow up much healthier in Covas do Barroso than in the English capital. A mine will always have an impact, but in this case it will be managed in a responsible manner, taking into account the environmental values ??of the region. We will minimize everything possible, for example in terms of transport. Everything will be diverted from the local populations closest to the mine.
