Lithium Universe Brings Australian Expertise to Canadian Lithium Development Strategy

“This is a company that has the experts and experience to make anything happen, and that’s what’s really exciting," said Alex Hanly, CEO of Lithium Universe.

Lithium Universe (ASX:LU7) is leveraging its team’s expertise in Australian lithium development to develop a lithium-processing hub in North America, according to the company’s CEO, Alex Hanly.

He said the company is simultaneously progressing exploration work and project generation within its Québec and Ontario assets. “That’s looking at developing and getting access to a resource, and the second item is building out a concentrator … similar to how the Western Australian lithium market first got off the ground," Hanly explained.

The company plans to establish a multipurpose battery-grade lithium carbonate refinery in Québec as it continues to explore and develop its lithium projects in Canada.


Hanly said Lithium Universe is adopting a “hub-and-spoke" strategy with a centralised concentrator and a series of mines within a radius feeding that centralised, high-variability concentrator. The company has engaged consulting firm Hatch to undertake an engineering study for the design of its lithium carbonate refinery in Québec.

In January 2023, Lithium Universe finalised an option agreement to acquire a property within the Bécancour Waterfront Industrial Park in Québec, the preferred site for the company’s 16,000 tonne per year lithium carbonate plant, validated through the study conducted by Hatch.

“It’s a great area. We’ve got port facilities, we’ve got highway access, we’ve got rail access and we’ve got all the required utilities — from natural gas to the very cheap hydroelectricity, which Québec is known for,” Hanly said.
