Mining in Brazil's indigenous lands unlikely in near future: Ibram

摘要

London—Mining on Brazil’s indigenous lands is unlikely to occur in the near future, despite the Brazilian government’s publication last week of a law bill proposing the opening up and industrial exploitation of these lands, according to executives of Brazilian mining institute Ibram. “A great deal of discussion is still to take place on the law bill, not least because it also covers exploitation of oil and gas as well as minerals,” Ibram President Flavio Penido said in a press conference in Brasilia. “Nothing has yet been decided yet on the indian lands.”
