Nemaska Lithium President and CEO, Guy Bourassa, stated:

This financing strengthens Nemaska Lithium from a project execution standpoint, as we can now progress the commercial mine and hydromet plant projects in a significant way.We are starting the detailed engineering work of both the hydromet plant and the mine site, ordering long lead items, as well as initiating construction of the main buildings at the Whabouchi mine site. This will allow us to continue our work in enclosed facilities during the winter of 2017, which is critical to keeping us on target for production in Q2 2018 when the market for lithium compounds is projected to be very tight on the supply side. With close to 90% of this offering going to over 30 institutional investors we have significantly broadened our shareholder base and increased our presence with international investors.
