Nemaska Lithium (NMKEF) is building its Quebec-located world-class Whabouchi lithium project. The project consists of a spodumene hard rock mine at Whabouchi and an electrochemical plant in Shawinigan. The mine is expected to produce the first spodumene before the end of this year, and in H2 2020, the production of lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate should start at the plant. According to the January 2018 feasibility study, the Whabouchi mine should be able to produce 213,000 tonnes of spodumene concentrate containing 6.25% Li2O per year on average, over the 33-year
