Patrick Donnelly, an environmental advocate, vigilantly tracks the lithium-mining industry, creating an invaluable online map of mining projects in the West. This initiative serves as both a resource for investors and a means to hold companies accountable for environmental impact. His engagement with mining companies, particularly Rover Critical Minerals, showcases his commitment to biodiversity, as he challenges their proposed projects near protected areas like the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, emphasizing the legal and ecological ramifications of their activities.
In November 2022, he noticed an alert for a Rover project in southern Nevada, but he didn't find any information about its location.
Just saw your map, the message began. I would abandon that project right now, because you stand zero, and I mean zero, chance of getting it permitted.
