Snapshot: In July 2022, the community group of Common Land of Covas do Barroso in Portugal, filed a lawsuit against Savannah Lithium (part of Savannah Resources), for alleged encroachment on communal land to use for the Barroso lithium mine project in Portugal. They accused the company of improper appropriation of land assigned to the community and buying land based on topographical surveys that did not correspond to common land limits established prior. They ask for the purchases to be declared void. The case is ongoing.
