Nicaragua awarded a 25-year gold exploration concession over 262 sq km of rainforest to Linze Excelente Mineria, a company linked to a US-sanctioned Chinese miner. The move deepens Nicaragua's economic ties with China amid US sanctions, potentially challenging US influence in the region. The concession's legality and the extent of the link to the sanctioned entity remain unclear.
