The mayor of Cáceres, Rafael Mateos, asks that there be "prudence, that the appropriate channels be followed, maximum transparency and that current regulations be respected" in the process of application for the exploitation of the lithium deposit in Valdeflores. The Australian company Infinity Lithium, which promotes the project, has announced in the early hours of this Monday on its website that it has already requested the concession to the general management of Mines of the Junta de Extremadura. The company asks the Board for the license to operate the Cáceres mine.
José Luis Bermejo Trigo "We respect the company's decision. Once the corresponding file is instructed, there will be public and citizen participation, then it will be decided what will go ahead," said the Cáceres councillor in an appearance before the media. I am very confident in the administrative procedures. The city council has already issued the initial urban report that had to be published. The passage to concession will now require the presentation within a time of the final project, but the public administrations do not yet know it. When this is the case, all reports will be collected to study the scope of the environmental impact," he said
