Sayona's business & its projects
Sayona Mining is a young lithium producer with assets in Western Australia and Québec, Canada. In Quebec, Sayona has bought North American Lithium, an established lithium mine and concentrator, with the help of strategic partner Piedmont Lithium Inc (ASX:PLL). Sayona intends to integrate North American Lithium with its nearby Authier Lithium Project and its upcoming Tansim Lithium Project to create a global Abitibi lithium hub.
Sayona also owns 60% ownership in the Moblan Lithium Project in Northern Quebec, which is situated in the well-established lithium mining region of Eeyou-Istchee James Bay.
To supply lithium to the rapidly expanding North American battery and EV industry, the company has committed to downstream processing in Québec.
