Quebec, Canada
A globally significant region for lithium deposits but development infrastructure a major constraint

Quebec has a well developed & Government supported mining industry TOP rated mining jurisdiction by Fraser Institute (no. 6 in world)
Host to a number of large high-grade Lithium deposits Most projects infrastructure and transport logistics constrained – require capital intensive lithium carbonate plants
