The James Bay Lithium Pegmatite Project in Quebec is an extensive high-grade spodumene pegmatite deposit that occurs at surface. Situated adjacent to key infrastructure including high-tension power, roads and readily accessible water, the project is well located to potentially provide a stable supply of lithium to the emerging lithium battery sector in the northeast United States and Eastern Canada.
Preliminary test work shows that the James Bay spodumene ore coarseness is similar to Mt Cattlin. This lends itself to similar processing and upgrading methods adopted at Mt Cattlin where simple crushing and heavy media separation is used to produce 6% lithium oxide spodumene product.
