The Junta de Andalucía plans to appeal in cassation before the Supreme Court (TS) the ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of Andalusia (TSJA) that cancels the authorization of the own regional administration to restart the works and the restoration plan in the concession of exploitation of polymetallic sulphides in Minas de Riotinto, although he wanted to make clear that said ruling of the Andalusian High Court "does not suspend the activity" of the project devised for that enclave.
The Andalusian Government responds thus to the mining company Atalaya Riotinto Minera that had shown its concern and demanded legal security to the Andalusian Government to consolidate the investments made (more than 200 million euros) and the announced ones (85 million more) to extend the life of the Río Tinto Project.

Summer has indicated that the aforementioned ruling has been "annulled due to a defect in form", and "that has an impact on the license to reopen the mine, but it does not suspend the activity" of the mine, because, in addition, it has remembered, is not yet "a final decision" and, in fact, from the Board are working "to appeal" said resolution, as confirmed by the delegate. He explained that "we can appeal through cassation to the Supreme Court, which is what we are going to do," and "on Monday we have a meeting in Seville to work on it."
