For the NAL complex's equipment and facilities to successfully optimise output while upholding the strictest environmental standards, Sayona has made major improvements. The procurement process was 98% finished by the end of October 2022, and mining contractors had arrived on site.
Sayona recently unveiled a pre-feasibility study for the possible production of lithium carbonate at the plant, as it continues to build its Abitibi lithium hub centred on NAL.
