Nordic Mining ASA: Nordic Mining wins court case against environmental NGOs
Reference is made to the stock exchange notice from Nordic Mining ASA ("Nordic
Mining") on 26 August 2025 regarding the NGOs Friends of the Earth Norway and
Nature and Youth's filing for injunction against Nordic Mining's subsidiary
Engebø Rutile and Garnet AS ("ERG") claiming that ERG's rutile and garnet mine
shall halt its operations.
The district court has as expected today ruled in favor of ERG concluding that
the conditions for an injunction is not met.
The operations at the mine continues as planned.
"We made the case that the environmental impact of the sea deposit is low. This
conclusion is based on numerous independent reports and surveys. We are pleased
that the court followed the science and not the NGOs' principled rejection of
sea deposits."
We are also pleased that the Norwegian government shows unwavering support for
the Engebø Rutile and Garnet Project recognising the geopolitical importance of
the project for Norway and Europe," says CEO Finn Ivar Marum in Nordic Mining.
