Canada Partners with Frontier Lithium for Strategic Battery Material Production Expansion

Frontier Lithium has partnered with Mitsubishi Corporation to invest hundreds of millions in constructing a lithium refinery in Thunder Bay, Ontario, which will be part of the company's PAK Lithium Project. This initiative aims to position Canada as a leader in the critical minerals supply chain for electric vehicle batteries, creating hundreds of new jobs and enhancing Ontario's emerging end-to-end critical mineral supply chain. The Ontario government has expressed strong support for the project, emphasizing its potential to protect jobs and boost the local economy. Concurrently, Green Technology Metals Limited is also committed to building Ontario's first integrated lithium business, focusing on collaboration with Indigenous partners. The Canadian government is backing these initiatives as part of its Critical Minerals Strategy, which aims to expedite the development of domestic supply chains for essential minerals like lithium. Overall, these developments signal a significant push towards enhancing Canada's role in the global battery materials market.
