Mineração Taboca was purchased by Nonferrous Trade, in an operation that involves the Pitinga mine (AM), which has metals such as niobium, tantalum and possibly uranium.
In the document, the parliamentarian expresses concern about possible risks to national sovereignty.
“This acquisition could represent a potential risk to national sovereignty, the management of strategic resources for Brazil and even environmental preservation in the Amazon”, says the deputy.
