“We value the effort by the Government of Quebec to provide investors visibility into Quebec’s world-class mining sector at the PDAC conference,” states Company CEO, John Passalacqua. “First Phosphate is developing a vertically-integrated strategy for the LFP battery sector to meet the Government of Quebec’s strategic electrification prerogatives.”
“Quebec’s rare igneous anorthosite phosphate rock is ideal in producing abundant amounts of battery-grade purified phosphoric acid necessary to meet the anticipated looming shortages to come in North America,” explains First Phosphate President, Peter Kent. “The LFP battery was in part first developed in Quebec. First Phosphate is proud to develop its vertically-integrated plan to produce LFP cathode active material in the region of Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, Quebec.”
Mr. Passalacqua will take the opportunity to discuss the importance of the Company’s recent announcement of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Prayon SA (“Prayon”), headquartered in Engis, Belgium, and Europe’s largest producer of purified phosphoric acid and global leader in purified phosphoric acid production technology. First Phosphate and Prayon are building a strategic transatlantic relationship to enable Europe and North America to gain green energy and critical mineral independence. The parties plan to continue to work in cooperation with the Quebec, Canadian, United States, Walloon, Belgian and European governments to this end.
