The MOU with FAR is a pivotal event for the two companies and in particular, may serve to unlock the Manitoba region as a potentially major hard rock lithium-producer. Clear synergies between the two projects will likely benefit through economies of scale. The document outlines the broad terms and principles upon which Quantum and Far Resources can confidently discuss unlocking the Manitoba region in the midst of the insatiable demand for Lithium.”
