Bombarral gives unfavorable opinion on kaolin mine

Diário de Leiria5 September 2026 at 17:00

The municipality of Bombarral issued an unfavorable opinion regarding the project of a kaolin mine. The local authority expressed opposition to the installation of the mining operation in its territory.

One of the main concerns raised by the municipal council is related to dust emissions. This problem is associated with the open-pit extraction of kaolin and the earth movement necessary for the extractive activity.

The municipality's negative opinion reflects the environmental impacts that the local population fears with the implementation of the mining project in the region.
