Nemaska intends to become
a lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate producer
based in Quebec and
has filed patent applications for its proprietary methods
to produce these compounds.
In tandem, the Corporation is developing
one of the richest spodumene lithium hard rock deposit in the world,
both in volume and grade.
Spodumene concentrate produced at Nemaska's Whabouchi mine
and from other global sources will be shipped
to the Corporation's lithium compounds processing plant
to be built in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec.
This plant will transform spodumene concentrate
into high purity lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate
mainly for the growing lithium battery market

announced today that it has secured
a $12.87 M technology commercialization grant
for its Phase 1 Lithium hydroxide hydromet plant
from the federally-funded
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC).
The Phase 1 plant is designed to
produce 500 tonnes per year of high purity lithium hydroxide.
Once built, Nemaska intends to use this facility
to demonstrate its proprietary lithium hydroxide technology and
produce commercial samples to send to end users primarily
in the lithium battery market
with a goal of securing off-take agreements
in advance of starting operation of
its lithium mine and commercial hydromet facility.
