Sayona board approves restart of NAL project
The restart of the spodumene concentrate production at the NAL operation in Canada's Quebec has been given the board's approval by Sayona Quebec Inc (SYQ). Sayona controls 75% of SYQ, and Piedmont Lithium Inc. (ASX:PLL) owns the remaining 25%.
The renovation and restart are expected to cost CA$98 million (about AU$110 million). Sayona has made significant efforts to speed up the production restart, including hiring critical personnel, acquiring crucial long-lead equipment, advancing complex engineering design work, and acquiring practically all required regulatory clearances. In Q1 2023, the NAL concentrator is anticipated to produce its first output.

These recent finds offer the opportunity to expand Sayona's resource base in North America dramatically.
