Twin Pines Minerals Fails to Provide $2 Million Bond for Controversial Titanium Mine Permit in Georgia

• Share on:

Twin Pines Minerals has not provided the required $2 million bond or collateral to obtain its permit for titanium mining near the Okefenokee Swamp, as confirmed by Georgia Environmental Protection Division spokeswoman Sara Lips. The delay comes amid financial distress for the company, which is facing lawsuits alleging millions in unpaid services and has struggled with property tax payments in South Georgia. Environmental advocates express concern that the company's financial issues undermine its commitment to responsible mining practices and the protection of the swamp's ecosystem.
