[Half Yearly Report and Accounts, 30 June 2026]() (operations / Caldeira project progress) ## Environmental record ### Caldeira licensing challenged; MPF inquiry and suspension requests unresolved [mei_peter_sheehan_environment_context] 2026-06 · documented · high materiality The Caldeira project is subject to unresolved environmental and radiological licensing challenges. In December 2025 the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPF) opened a civil inquiry into possible irregularities in processing state licensing case 00911/2024; that is an inquiry, not a finding of wrongdoing. The state granted a Preliminary Licence (LP) in December 2025, but a separate Installation Licence (LI) is still required. In June 2026 a federal-court proceeding required an ANSN technical opinion before licensing could advance, according to local reporting. On 10 September 2026, local reporting said civil-society organizations had filed a civil public action questioning Caldeira and another project; the MPF, as legal watchdog rather than plaintiff, supported suspension pending a conclusive ANSN opinion. The article did not report a court order suspending the Caldeira process. Meteoric responded that ANSN had issued a final report in late August classifying its pilot facility as exempt from radiological control and said the MPF opinion was not a judgment. On 17 September, a local alliance separately asked MPF/FEAM to suspend the installation-license process until cumulative-impact and water studies were completed; Meteoric replied that it considered its technical, environmental and social studies robust and remained open to dialogue. As of the 9 October 2026 cutoff, no final court disposition, suspension order, or final LI award was identified. These are project- and company-level proceedings and stakeholder objections, not findings of misconduct by any named executive; the reviewed record does not establish individual responsibility. **Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. The executive team oversees Caldeira, but the order addresses project review and does not establish personal responsibility or misconduct. **Relevance:** Radiological permitting is central to the flagship rare-earth project.
