DETAILS
Nemaska Lithium Inc. has received
its second $2.12M installment from
Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC)
for the development of
the Phase 1 Lithium Hydroxide Plant.
The Phase 1 plant is designed to produce
500 tonnes per year of high purity lithium hydroxide.
The construction of the Phase 1 plant has started
and is expected to be completed during Q4-2016.
Once built, Nemaska Lithium intends to use this facility
to produce commercial lithium hydroxide samples
to send to end-users in the lithium battery market
with a goal of securing off-take agreements
in advance of start of operation
at the Whabouchi lithium mine
and commercial Hydromet facility,
the latter being also located in Shawinigan.
Nemaska Lithium is in discussions
with a number of potential end-users,
all of which have requested samples
as soon as possible.
Guy Bourassa,
President and CEO of Nemaska Lithium
"We have taken possession of the facilities
in Shawinigan that will house both the Phase 1 Plant
and the commercial Hydromet facility
and construction of the Phase 1 Plant has commenced,"
"Furthermore, work has started on removing
the old paper mill equipment from
the commercial Hydromet Plant facility
and we are very pleased with the progress so far."
