Nemaska ups lithium game with Whabouchi feasibility bettering scope, flexibility, economics

Budding Canadian lithium producer Nemaska Lithium has published more bullish scenarios for its flagship Whabouchi mine and concentrator, located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory, and on the hydromet plant, located in Shawinigan, both in Quebec. With more than a year’s experience at the mine and close to nine months operating portions of the plant, coupled with drilling success, management is confident it can increase both lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) output by 20% and extend the life-of-mine LOM by 27%, or seven years, to 33 years.
