“This funding will help ensure we can cement our lithium projects as key to the region’s clean energy future, with the potential for clean and green lithium hydroxide production direct to Ontario automakers and North Carolina battery makers.
“I would like to thank our investors and partners, notably Piedmont Lithium, for their tremendous support at this transformative stage in Sayona’s evolution.”
