According to the contract, Solurail Logistique Inc, a Val d'Or business that specialises in bulk transhipment and rail logistics, will be in charge of delivering lithium to clients from the NAL operation in La Corne to the Port of Trois-Rivières.

The CA$43 million (about AU$48 million) deal also contains the provision of renting 110 rolling stock (railway trucks), which will be made available for resumption of production at NAL in the first quarter of 2023.

The agreement is one of the important recent steps taken by Sayona to resume production at NAL, along with the choice of a mining operator, L. Fournier & Fils of Québec, with permission and procurement largely finished.

In addition, Sayona has started a prefeasibility study to examine the options for downstream processing, such as lithium hydroxide, to produce lithium carbonate at NAL.
