I'd sooner believe ChatGTP than some 'the sky is falling' de-ramper.
"The likelihood of Brazil revoking Serabi Gold's trial mining license for the Coringa project, recently extended to January 2027, appears low based on current information. The three-year renewal, granted by the National Mining Agency (ANM) in January 2024, allows Serabi to transport up to 50,000 tonnes of ore annually from Coringa to be processed at their Palito Complex. This extension reflects continued stakeholder support, including agreements with indigenous communities.
In July 2023, Serabi reached an understanding with local indigenous groups, affirming their backing for Coringa's long-term development. While formal consultations are ongoing, this agreement indicates a collaborative relationship, reducing potential conflicts that could jeopardize the license. Furthermore, the environmental agency Secretaria de Estado de Meio Ambiente e Sustentabilidade (SEMAS) is actively reviewing Serabi's application for an Installation Licence, with the existing Trial Mining Operating Licence remaining valid.
This ongoing regulatory engagement suggests that Serabi is adhering to environmental standards, further mitigating revocation risks.
While Brazil has intensified efforts against illegal mining, particularly in the Amazon, Serabi's compliance with legal and environmental requirements distinguishes it from illicit operations.
The company's proactive approach in securing community agreements and regulatory approvals positions it favourably, making license revocation unlikely under current circumstances."
