Pomerantz LLP is investigating Galan Lithium Corporation for alleged securities fraud and unlawful business practices. This investigation follows a downgrade of Galan Lithium's stock by Bank of America in January 2026 due to unresolved operational and liquidity issues, which caused a 15.07% stock price drop. Additionally, in May 2026, a Brazilian judge ordered Sigma Mineração, a subsidiary of Galan Lithium, to deposit 50 million reais to cover alleged damages from its Grota do Cirilo lithium operation, leading to another 12.25% decline in Galan Lithium's stock. The judge's ruling cited 'massive violation of human dignity' in nearby communities due to dust, tremors, cracks in homes, and constant noise.
