Belo Sun Mining (ISIN CA0805581091) faces renewed opposition to its Volta Grande gold project, while Belo Sun Mining stock had a CAD 667.0 million market capitalization on October 6, 2026. The latest dispute centers on the project's installation license and Brazil's Supreme Court review.

License remains in effect

According to Mining.com.au on October 1, 2026, Leonardo DiCaprio backed Indigenous opposition to the proposed mine after a September 22 protest in New York. The report said Brazil's Federal Public Prosecutor's Office was asking the Supreme Court to suspend a February ruling that reinstated the installation license.

Belo Sun said in its September 14, 2026 update that the license remained reinstated while the court considered the submissions. The company also said it had completed an Indigenous Component Study and consultation process, while agreeing not to begin physical construction during court-directed conciliation.

What the dispute means

The project is economically material because a 2015 feasibility study estimated initial capital expenditure at USD 298 million, average annual production at 205,000 ounces of gold and an operating life of 17.2 years, according to Mining.com.au. Belo Sun has since commissioned a technical review, so the older estimate is historical rather than a current construction budget.

The September 14 company release said the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office sought suspension of provisional relief and that Belo Sun had filed a response requesting denial of the request. The Supreme Court's interim decision therefore remains a key project milestone, with permitting progress carrying direct implications for financing and construction timing.

Stock sits below yearly high

On October 6, 2026, Belo Sun Mining stock was last quoted at CAD 1.20 on the Toronto Stock Exchange, unchanged from the prior close. The quote stood 27.71 percent below the CAD 1.66 52-week high and above the CAD 0.28 52-week low, while volume reached 335,263 shares.
