"Prunéřov was also in the game during the first assessment, it's always a final decision about some optimum of costs and acceptability, what is possible to implement," added Štěpánek.
According to the miners' estimate, there should be around 60 trains per week from the Ore Mountains to Prunéřov in Chomutovska. "I don't think that the number of trains would be so high that it would dramatically burden the neighborhood or the railway as such," says Štěpánek.
"It's a small victory for us. We will certainly still deal with water protection, but that is already one of the details," responded the governor of the Ústí Region, Jan Schiller (ANO), who was among the critics of the plan to process ore in Újezdeček. "I also want to initiate negotiations with the Ministries of Industry and Education so that we can agree on whether we should already create any work or study fields in order to prepare technicians and not to import workers from elsewhere," he added.
There is still no feasibility study
The mining of lithium itself is to take place in Cínovec, in the locality of Sedmihůrky. It will be deep. On the surface, there will be an entrance to the mine with an area of approximately 22 hectares, which will provide safety and technological service for the operation of the mine.
