This has come amid wild rumour that such a shipment occurred.
The release stated that no mining company with the aforementioned name operates in Sierra Leone and that none with such a name has ever applied for a license to the National Mineral Agency (NMA).“No company has shipped Lithium from Sierra Leone,” it said.
The release went on to advise the public to desist from doing business relating to mining or lithium with Electros.
It called on all stakeholders, journalists, and mining investors to verify information on mineral exports from Sierra Leone with NMA.
