A federal judge in Nevada has dismissed part of the legal challenge brought by Native American tribes seeking to halt the construction of one of the largest lithium mines globally, but the tribes are given another chance to amend their complaint related to the National Historic Preservation Act. The tribes argue the mine is being constructed illegally near the sacred site of an 1865 massacre. The lithium mine is located at Thacker Pass and is being developed by Lithium Nevada. The project has faced legal challenges from various fronts, including environmental concerns.
