Brazilian Supreme Court Justice orders AGU to address regulatory gaps in rare earth mining

Justice Nunes Marques has mandated that the Office of the Attorney General (AGU) provide a response within 10 days regarding alleged regulatory omissions in the rare earth sector. The Prosecutor General (PGR) will subsequently have five days to issue an opinion, marking a procedural step in potential litigation over environmental and industrial oversight. The outcome remains uncertain, but the case could force stricter federal regulation on critical mineral extraction.
