美国司法部：亚利桑那联邦法院驳回叫停 Hermosa 关键矿产项目的申请
美国司法部11月10日通报，美国亚利桑那区联邦地区法院上周驳回了一项初步禁令动议，该动议要求叫停位于亚利桑那州东南部的 Hermosa 关键矿产项目施工，法院未予支持，项目得以继续推进。
据司法部，Hermosa 项目将为美国建立国内锰供应来源，并大幅提高国内锌产量。锰与锌都是军用车辆与海军舰艇用钢的必需材料；电池级锰还是无人机、无线电等国防装备所用先进锂离子电池的必需材料。
司法部指出，美国目前完全依赖进口锰、几乎完全依赖进口锌，而中国掌握着全球约95%的先进电池用锰精炼产能。Hermosa 项目因此被列为关键矿产项目，以补上这一供应链缺口。

DOJ: Arizona Federal Court Denies Bid to Halt Hermosa Critical Minerals Project
The U.S. Department of Justice announced on November 10 that the U.S. District Court for the District of Arizona last week denied a motion for a preliminary injunction to halt construction of the Hermosa Critical Minerals Project in southeastern Arizona.
According to the department, the project will establish a domestic source of manganese and substantially increase domestic production of zinc, which are essential to the steel used in military vehicles and naval vessels. In battery-grade form, manganese is also essential to the advanced lithium-ion batteries that power unmanned aerial vehicles, radios, and other defense equipment.
The United States relies entirely on imports of manganese and almost entirely on imports of zinc, with China providing about 95% of global refining capacity for manganese used in advanced batteries, the department said.
