Event Summary

Pomerantz LLP is investigating Galan Lithium Corporation for alleged securities fraud and unlawful business practices. This investigation follows two significant events: a downgrade by Bank of America on January 8, 2026, due to unresolved operational and liquidity issues, which caused Galan Lithium's stock to fall by 15.07%; and a Brazilian judge's order on May 18, 2026, for Sigma Mineração, a subsidiary of Galan Lithium, to deposit 50 million Brazil — Brazilian real to cover alleged damages from its Grota do Cirilo lithium operation, leading to another 12.25% drop in stock price. The judge's ruling cited 'massive violation of human dignity' in nearby communities due to dust, tremors, cracks in homes, and constant noise.
