East Tenement / Brazil Tenement discussion, page-19

Updates as @ 28/12/2022:

In summary, multiple new docos appearing for the 'East Tenement' and tenements adjacent to the east. Clearly some sort of activity is occurring but (at least officially) there is nothing yet to report.

Multiple tenement applications to the north (some bordering tenements requested by Rio Tinto) - No updates since the applications were submitted in October and November of this year.

830.691/2017 (Colina) - 2 new docos on 21st December - 1 locked due to Business secrecy and 1 unlocked. Unlocked doco doesn't really shed any light on the underlying nature of the doco.

831.504/2022 (8 metre wide tenement between Colina and East tenement) - 20 new docos on 19 December, one of which suggests that all the adjacent tenements are owned by 'the applicant' (Belo Lithium - LRS subsidiary). For some reason, all the docos for this tenement are unlocked, none are locked.

" However, the aforementioned order did not observe that the adjacent areas are owned by the Claimant, with no interference in priority right of third parties"

830.833/2001 (East Tenement) - 17 new docos appeared on the 23rd December. 15 locked with reason given = Business Secrecy Act. The 2 unlocked docos don't shed much light - one is an e-receipt and the other

830080/2022 (Monte Alto) - 8 new docos on 22nd December. 6 locked due to business secrecy act, 2 unlocked but they don't shed any light.

301.354/2022 (new tenement carved out of bottom left of the east tenement) - No docos or processes are listed against this new tenement and it is marked as 'available' without any owner. Interestingly, the tiny little 8m wide tenement application shows up as part of this new tenement when you look via this link: https://geo.anm.gov.br/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6a8f5ccc4b6a4c2bba79759aa952d908

831.643/2003 (tenement within the top left of the east tenement) - nothing new

831.118/2008 (Lajinha) - Nothing new

831.799/2005 (Colina South) - Nothing new

831.219/2017 (Colina West) - 5 new docos 19th December - 2 locked due to business secrecy and the other 3 don't shed much light.
