Divestiture orders against three foreign investors in Canadian lithium companies
On 2 November 2022, Canada ordered three foreign companies to divest their holdings in Canadian critical-minerals companies: Sinomine (Hong Kong) Rare Metals Resources from Power Metals Corp., Chengze Lithium International from Lithium Chile Inc., and Zangge Mining Investment (Chengdu) from Ultra Lithium Inc. The orders were made under the Investment Canada Act national-security review.

Investment Canada Act policy on state-owned enterprise investments in critical minerals
Announced 28 October 2022. Foreign SOE acquisitions of control in Canadian critical-minerals businesses will be approved only on an exceptional basis. SOE participation in any critical-minerals investment, of any size, supports a finding of possible national-security injury. Classed as export_control as the closest type for an investment restriction.
