ASX-listed Sayona Mining delivered a happy announcement for investors with a large expansion of its footprint at the Moblan Lithium Project in Quebec.

The James Bay region of Quebec is a hotbed of activity these days, with some of the largest mining companies active in the region.

Already one of North America’s single largest lithium resources, Moblan’s first batch of 2023 results show the potential of Sayona’s northern lithium hub in Québec’s highly prospective Eeyou Istchee James Bay region, the company said.

Some 60,000m of drilling is planned at Moblan during 2023, with Sayona targeting the further growth of its resource base capable of supporting future downstream processing and the production of lithium hydroxide.

Sayona’s Managing Director, Brett Lynch, commented:

“Moblan is shaping up as one of the leading hard rock lithium deposits in North America, advancing our planned move towards downstream processing.

Working in partnership with the Québec Government, Sayona will deliver even faster speed and more tonnes through this expanding northern hub.
