(The jurisdictions are Norway and the United States, and the critical metals include tungsten, molybdenum, copper, zinc, germanium and gallium, along with gold and silver.)

In July, Emerita filed suit against some of its former directors as well as Lithium Ionic -- the company to which those former directors subsequently sold Emerita's dropped Falcon project -- ground that is now Lithium Ionic's Bandeira.
