Residents near Quebec's Laurentians protest graphite mine due to environmental concerns and Pentagon funding.
Residents near Quebec's Laurentians region are protesting a planned graphite mine due to concerns about environmental impact and the involvement of the Pentagon. Lomiko Metals, a mining company, aims to build a mine near a wildlife reserve, drawing opposition from locals who learned in May about the US Department of Defence granting $11.4m to the project. The funds are intended for studying graphite conversion into battery-grade material for electric vehicles.
