Resources Rising Stars Gold Coast Conference presentation summary
11 Sep, 2026Project overview and resource highlights
Shaakichiuwaanaan is among the top 10 largest lithium pegmatite resources globally and the largest hard-rock lithium reserve in the Americas, with significant caesium and tantalum resources as well.
The project benefits from simple, physical recovery methods, expected to lower operating costs and enable rapid, large-scale production of lithium, caesium, and tantalum.
Located in Quebec, the site has access to hydro power, year-round roads, rail, and port infrastructure, supporting integration into global supply chains.
The consolidated mineral resource estimate (CV5 + CV13) totals 108.0 Mt at 1.40% Li₂O (Indicated) and 33.4 Mt at 1.33% Li₂O (Inferred), with substantial caesium and tantalum by-products.
A proven management team with over C$176M cash on hand is advancing the project toward a final investment decision (FID) targeted for H2 2027.
Development strategy and value creation
The development plan is structured in three phases: optimizing lithium operations, unlocking value from caesium and tantalum, and diversifying into downstream chemicals.
Feasibility for up to ~800 ktpa SC5.5 lithium concentrate is underway, with staged open-pit and underground mining at CV5.
Studies to include tantalum and caesium as co-products are in progress, with a PEA for the broader project (CV5 + CV13) expected by year-end 2026.
Downstream opportunities include supplying lithium and caesium chemicals to North American, Asian, and European battery industries.
Strategic partnerships are being pursued to establish a chemicals supply hub leveraging low-cost renewable power.
Strategic partnerships and funding
Over C$190M in strategic investments since August 2023 from global leaders such as Albemarle, Volkswagen/PowerCo, Koch Technology Solutions, and Mitsui/Primero.
Albemarle invested C$109M for a 4.9% stake, validating project quality and market credibility.
Volkswagen/PowerCo invested C$69M for a 9.9% stake and secured a long-term offtake agreement.
Koch Technology Solutions and Mitsui/Primero are providing downstream processing technology and expertise.
As of June 30, 2026, C$173M cash on hand supports ongoing development and exploration.
