Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Government Denies Claims of Lithium Export From Sierra Leone<\/p>\n

Government Responds to Claims of Lithium Export From Sierra Leone<\/p>\n

The Government of Sierra Leone, through the Ministry of Mines and Mineral Resources (MMMR) and the National Minerals Agency (NMA), has issued a firm denial regarding recent media claims that a company, Elektros (OTC PINK: ELEK), has exported lithium from Sierra Leone.<\/p>\n

In a press release, both institutions clarified that these allegations are baseless and fraudulent.<\/p>\n

The MMMR and NMA referenced multiple publications, including one in the Gleaner Newspaper dated 24th September 2024, and a report on a website finance. Yahoo. Com.<\/p>\n

According to the official statement, there is no mining company called Elektros operating in the country, nor has any such company applied for a mining license.<\/p>\n

Further investigation by the NMA confirms that no company has exported lithium from Sierra Leone, and none of the authorized companies exploring for lithium have commenced production.<\/p>\n

The government stressed that all claims in the mentioned publications are entirely false, warning the public against engaging in any business related to mining or lithium with Elektros (OTC PINK: ELEK).<\/p>\n

The MMMR and NMA have urged all stakeholders, including journalists and mining investors, to verify any claims related to mineral exports with the NMA before making any business decisions.<\/p>\n
