Under phase I of the project, NMG invested in piloting and demonstration plants for both the beneficiation and secondary transformation.

In a press statement, NMG earlier said: “NMG is designing a mine of the future, targeted to be all-electric, complemented by clean advanced beneficiation facilities in order to provide battery and EV manufacturers with responsibly extracted, environmentally transformed, and locally sourced green anode material.”

Located in Saint-Michel-des-Saints, 150km north of Montréal, Québec, the Matawinie graphite property is estimated to contain measured and indicated resources of 130.3 million tonnes grading 4.28% graphitic carbon (Cg) and containing 5.55 million tonnes of Cg.
