Nemaska Lithium Moves Closer to Building Lithium Hydroxide/Carbonate Plant in Quebec, Press Conference and Publication of PEA Results Scheduled for October 2, 2012
Whabouchi and Sirmac Lithium Project Updates
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Sept. 17, 2012) - Nemaska Lithium Inc. ("Nemaska" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NMX)(OTCQX:NMKEF) is pleased to announce that it will host a press conference in Montreal on Tuesday, October 2, 2012 to announce the results of its Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) study on the Whabouchi mine, concentrator and Valleyfield lithium hydroxide/carbonate plant. Earlier this year, the Corporation decided to carry out secondary processing of spodumene concentrate in order to produce battery-grade lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate products. Following the PEA, Nemaska Lithium intends to move forward with a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS), which is expected to be published in December 2012.
"The Whabouchi project is one of the richest lithium deposit in the world with a grade that is second only to Talison Lithium's Greenbushes project in Australia," commented Guy Bourassa, President and Chief Executive Officer of Nemaska Lithium. "With the recent announcement of Rockwood Holding's intention to acquire Talison, we are beginning to see consolidation in the lithium space. The economics of our project are sound and we are in the final stages of completing the reports required to begin production of lithium hydroxide as the market for this added value niche product is heating up in response to the ever increasing demand for lithium batteries."
Project Updates
Whabouchi Project
The environmental, social and economic impact assessment report is scheduled to be filed with the Comite d'evaluation (COMEV) in late October, 2012. Nemaska Lithium has also filed a mining lease application with the Ministere des Ressources naturelles et de la Faune du Quebec (MRNF).
Sirmac Project
Nemaska's Sirmac project is comprised of 15 claims covering a total area of 645 hectares. Sirmac is located approximately 150 kilometres northwest of Chibougamau and about 125 kilometres from the Whabouchi project. The Corporation believes that Sirmac has the potential to produce technical grade spodumene concentrate for direct use in the glass and ceramic industries. With concentrate from this project, Nemaska's objective is to sell products to a broader lithium market base.
A 3,000 metre diamond drill program is currently under way at Sirmac. To date 38 holes totalling 1,975 metres of drilling has been completed, 566 channel samples were taken from 29 channels covering 760 metres, and a stripping campaign of 13,000 m2 has been completed. The Corporation expects drilling to conclude in approximately two weeks. Upon completion of this drilling program, Nemaska expects to produce its first NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate on the Sirmac project. In addition, bench scale metallurgical testing of spodumene concentrate has been completed by SGS Minerals Services in Lakefield, Ontario. Larger pilot scale metallurgical testing for producing spodumene concentrate of technical grade, is scheduled for November and December 2012.
Finally, the Corporation wishes to announce that Mr. Yves Caron has resigned from the Board of Directors.
About Nemaska
Nemaska Lithium is an exploration and development company with its Whabouchi and Sirmac lithium deposits located in the James Bay Region in the Province of Quebec. Both projects are easily accessible year round by the Route du Nord from Chibougamau. The Whabouchi lithium deposit is located near the Cree community of Nemaska and the Nemiscau airport. Nemaska plans to become a lithium hydroxide/carbonate producer based in Quebec and has filed patent applications for its proprietary method to produce lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. The Corporation's lithium hydroxide/carbonate processing plant will be located in Valleyfield, Quebec. Nemaska is also an important shareholder of Monarques Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MQR).

L'entreprise Nemaska Lithium, qui extrait du lithium à la mine Whabouchi dans le Nord-du-Québec, doit annoncer mardi un investissement important qui permettra la création de 300 emplois.
Du lot, environ 85 de ces emplois doivent être créés à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, 140 à Nemaska et 75 dans le secteur de la distribution entre les deux villes. Il a été impossible de connaître l'ampleur de l'investissement qui devrait être annoncé mardi après la fermeture des marchés.
La mise de fonds permettra à l'entreprise d'aller de l'avant avec l'ouverture d'une mine et d'un concentrateur à Nemaska. Elle devrait également ouvrir une usine de fabrication d'hydroxyde de lithium à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
L'entreprise finalise d'ailleurs une entente en vue d'acheter un terrain de 200 000 pieds carrés dans le parc industriel de Salaberry-de-Valleyfield.
Un partenaire chinois à convaincre
Nemaska est détenu à 20 % par Chengdu Tianqi Industry, un actionnaire chinois important. Ce partenaire a d'ailleurs dû donner son avis sur l'avenir de l'entreprise.
« Nous avons donc convaincu notre partenaire chinois qu'il était bon pour l'entreprise de faire la deuxième et la troisième transformation ici. C'est viable pour nous de le faire au Québec », a fait valoir Guy Bourassa, président et chef de la direction de Nemaska Lithium.
Le principal marché de l'entreprise québécoise demeure l'Asie. L'extraction de lithium permet de fabriquer des piles au lithium pour les voitures ou divers produits électroniques et de faire fonctionner des parcs éoliens.
Selon M. Bourassa, il s'agit d'une bonne nouvelle pour le sud comme le nord de la province. « On a souvent dit que les entreprises qui investissent dans le Nord ne font pas de transformation, ce n'est pas notre cas », a-t-il noté.
Le gouvernement du Québec n'a pas encore de billes dans ce projet, mais selon le dirigeant, il est possible qu'Investissement Québec et la Société du Plan Nord investissent ultérieurement.
« Aussi, nous ne recevons aucun argent public pour les infrastructures, car nous sommes tout près de la route vers Nemaska », a dit fièrement M. Bourassa.
En attendant l'annonce officielle, l'action de l'entreprise poursuit sa montée. Le titre inscrit à la Bourse de croissance, à Toronto, a fermé à 0,60 $, en hausse de 0,02 $. Au cours du dernier mois, il a doublé sa valeur.

hab ich aus stockhouse scheinbar hat SQM die lizenzen in chie entzogen bekommen, wen ich richtig lese oder wie versteht ihr das?
Oct 1 (Reuters) - Chile has revoked a decision allowing local firm and world No.1 lithium producer SQM to develop a new concession to produce the mineral in the country, the government said on Monday, after a rival bidder challenged the terms of the deal.
Chile is the world's top supplier of lithium, widely used in products ranging from hybrid vehicles to smartphone batteries, accounting for around 40 percent of global supplies.
Contracts for lithium production can be awarded under special circumstances despite a constitutional ban on concessions that has curbed output.
Rival bidder Li Energy Spa said that SQM had not met the tender's requirements as it has legal matters pending with the state.
Lithium, iodine and fertilizer firm SQM had been awarded a 20-year concession on Sept. 24 for around $40.6 million.
The mining ministry said late on Monday that the entire lithium tender had been invalidated. Other bidders had included a consortium comprising Li Energy, Posco Ltd, Mitsui & Co and Daewoo International Corp.
Some in Chile had decried the tender, accusing the government of surrendering a valuable resource to private hands.
Critics had also blasted the ministry for awarding the concession to SQM, whose chairman is ex-dictator Augusto Pinochet's former son-in-law and whose chief operating officer is the brother of Mining Minister Hernan de Solminihac.
The minister did not participate in the development of the lithium contracts to avoid a conflict of interest, however. (Writing by Alexandra Ulmer; Editing by Joseph Radford)

"Our proprietary electrolysis method of producing lithium hydroxide will set Nemaska apart from the competition, having the distinction of being the only producer with predictable stable input costs throughout the life of the project," Mr. Bourassa said. "We believe our ability to control conversion costs will provide us with a competitive advantage and enable us to grow our market share as the forecasted demand for lithium hydroxide comes to fruition." He continued, "With the positive economics of the mine and plant in place we can turn our attention to aggressively marketing our products. To that end, we have already sent samples of battery-grade lithium hydroxide to potential customers for evaluation and the response to date has been very positive. We will update the market on the progress on this important front in the weeks to come."

Nemaska veut mettre en production d'ici la fin de 2014 une mine à ciel ouvert près de la communauté crie de Nemaska, à 280 kilomètres au nord-ouest de Chibougamau, le long de la route du Nord. Elle souhaite transformer le concentré en hydroxyde de lithium et en carbonate de lithium dans une nouvelle usine à Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, dans le parc industriel situé près du port. L'ensemble du projet devrait créer environ 300 emplois, soit 140 à la mine, 75 pour le transport et 75 autres à Valleyfield.
D'une durée de vie minimale de 18 ans, le projet devrait générer des revenus de 4,1 milliards, selon l'évaluation économique préliminaire. La valeur actuelle nette avant taxes - l'équivalent de tous les profits s'ils étaient encaissés aujourd'hui - est de 567 millions, dans le scénario privilégié par Nemaska. La société veut déposer une étude de faisabilité d'ici la fin de l'année avant de pouvoir aller de l'avant avec le financement.
Un important investissement
C'est la construction de l'usine de transformation qui accaparerait la grande partie de l'investissement, a expliqué hier le président et chef de la direction de Nemaska, Guy Bourassa, lors d'une conférence de presse.
À l'origine, Nemaska Lithium, de Québec, comptait simplement construire une mine puis vendre le concentré à des clients asiatiques. Mais elle a changé de plan d'affaires après avoir mis au point une technologie qui lui permet de produire de l'hydroxyde de lithium, un produit transformé, à un coût avantageux. L'hydroxyde de lithium est utilisé dans les batteries de véhicules électriques, par exemple, et la demande est appelée à doubler tous les cinq ans, selon M. Bourassa.
Le procédé mis au point par Nemaska est basé sur l'électrolyse et demande donc beaucoup d'électricité. En transformant le produit au Québec, Nemaska peut compter sur une électricité à faible coût, et surtout à un coût prévisible. «Nous serons les seuls fournisseurs au monde à être capables de signer des ententes de vente à long terme avec des utilisateurs», soutient Guy Bourassa.
L'action en hausse
L'action de Nemaska Lithium (NMX) a progressé de 1,7% hier à la Bourse de croissance de TSX, à 0,61$. Le titre a gagné 50% dans les deux dernières semaines.
Le groupe chinois Chengdu Tianqi Industry Group détient environ 19% des actions de Nemaska.
Au 31 décembre 2011, la Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec possédait près de 9 millions d'actions de Nemaska, pour une valeur d'environ 1,9 million. L'organisme SIDEX, financé par le gouvernement du Québec et le Fonds de solidarité FTQ, a investi un total de 1,1 million dans la société. Le conseil de bande de la communauté de Nemaska est quant à lui actionnaire à hauteur de 3,6%.

---------------------------------
Drill results were announced today following Nemaska's aggressive exploration program at its 100% owned Sirmac property in northern Quebec. The drilling campaign wound up on September 28th and these final results support Nemaska's news on November 5th where the company announced it had discovered high grade lithium through extensive channel sampling.
In total, there were 72 holes drilled in this drill campaign giving Nemaska a total of 3,414 metres of core, which had multiple intersections of lithium grading over 2% with a high of 2.98%. To put this into perspective, the highest grade hard rock deposit in the world, Greenbushes which is owned by Talison, has grades of 3.1% lithium.
Nemaska plans to complete a NI 43-101 resource estimate to determine if this property is able to produce technical grade concentrate which would expand its planned product offering once in production at its Whabouchi site in 2014.

der newsflow in letzter zeit hat mir persönlich sehr gefallen.. das nächste jahr wird entscheidend sein für den erfolg von nemaska, aber ich denke die vorraussetzungen dafür sind sher gut! nur meine meinung
und die letzten bohrergebnisse von sirmac lassen auf eine ähliche güte wie Whabouchi vermuten..
zwei analysten kommentare von theenergyreport.com
Mansur Khan, Dundee Precious Metals Inc. (11/13/12) "We reiterate our Speculative Buy rating for Nemaska Lithium Inc. with a 12-month share price target of CA$0.70. . .impressive assay results were announced from Sirmac this morning, the company's second lithium project located 125Km south of flagship Whabouchi in Quebec. . .this spodumene deposit is notably low in iron, which could make Sirmac marketable to the technical-grade market (glass, ceramics) that pays a premium. . .some intervals reach grades of over 2.5% Li2O, in line with the world's largest hard rock producer. . .we believe Nemaska continues to be undervalued relative to peers."
Matt Gowing, Mackie Research Capital (11/2/12) "Nemaska Lithium Inc. has entered into discussions with Tianqi Lithium Inc. on strategies to jointly market and pursue off-take agreements with global end-users of lithium hydroxide and lithium carbonate. . .this is an important milestone as Tianqi Lithium may play a key role in marketing the company's lithium hydroxide and carbonate into high-demand regions such as China and other Asian countries. . .this news helps support our thesis that Nemaska Lithium has one of the most advanced and high-grade hard rock lithium projects in the world."

------------------------------------------
In late August there was news that shook the lithium industry when a brine producing lithium player, Rockwood Holdings, made a bid to purchase Australian based Talison, a hard rock lithium producer.
The $6.50 per share bid was a 59% premium to Talison's 30-day average trading price and valued the company at $724 million.
However, China based Chengdu Tianqi stepped up with a competing bid for $7.15 a share, putting a $800 million value on Talison.
Tianqi currently owns approximately 19% of Nemaska Lithium, which has a current market cap $45 million.
Rockwood has declared its offer of $6.50 per share as its best and final offer and Talison is now reviewing Tianqi's bid.
These latest developments speak volumes about consolidation and the value of the lithium industry; points that are not yet recognized by the investing public.
Jonathan Lee of Byron Capital Markets in New York points out that Chengdu Tianqi is considering funding its offer through state-owned, China Development Bank. He has raised his target price on Talison from $6.55 per share to $7.15 per share.
“Tianqi is a lithium-chemical converter company that purchases lithium concentrate from Talison and converts/upgrades lithium concentrate to lithium chemicals for downstream products,” Lee pens in a research note. “Tianqi currently buys essentially all of its lithium concentrate from Talison and Tianqi is the sole marketer of Talison’s operations going forward.”
The battery technologies and materials analyst argues that the Chinese conglomerate can and will trump any higher bid from Rockwood “given that Tianqi is too integrated with Talison to risk a takeover by Rockwood given Rockwood’s vertical integration in the lithium sector.”
“With higher bids emerging we believe that strategic implications are overtaking fundamentals and the bids show the importance of Talison to other industrial lithium companies,” Lee concludes.
There are intriguing elements to be digested by Nemaska watchers. Tianqi is clearly interested based on its approximately 19% ownership in Nemaska, which has the second largest hard rock lithium deposit in the world and Vivian Wu, Vice President (Corporate Development) of Chengdu Tianqi Industry Group, is a board member (see HG blog of October 22nd).

übernahmepotential bietet nemaska sicherlich, ist schon sehr interessant, was sich da langsam aufbaut.
zwei punkte darf man bei dem szenario im artikel nur nicht vergessen: talison ist bereits produzent. hier stehen die tatsächlichen kosten für die produktion des lithium-konzentrats fest. nemaska ist noch explorer, hier gibt es bisher nur berechnungen und schätzungen zum umfang des lithium-vorkommens und zu den produktions- bzw. abbaukosten. das diese berechnungen nicht immer mit der realität übereinstimmen, sieht man z.b. bei navigator resources, die ihre talfahrt ein knappes jahr nach produktionsbeginn aufnahmen. für eine übernahme bedeutet dies, dass man bei talison weiss, was man kauft, bei nemaska eher die katze im sack kauft (mit gewinn- und verlustchancen behaftet!).
zum zweiten wird nemaska noch eine menge kohle brauchen, um produzentenstatus zu erlangen. dies bietet tianqi die möglichkeit, durch recht geringen finanziellen aufwand den anteil an nemaska zu erhöhen und noch mehr einfluss im aufsichtsrat zu erlangen. für tianqi wäre dann eine übernahme nicht mehr zwingend erforderlich, sondern man könnte den einfluss nutzen, um einen abnahmevertrag für das fertige lithiumprodukt zu guten konditionen auszuhandeln. so hätte tianqi vollen zugriff auf das lithium, gute konditionen und würde vom guten kurs nemaskas profitieren. auf der anderen seite hätte man nicht volles risiko, da man eben nemaska nicht komplett übernähme.
für uns anleger heisst das: so viel kohle wie möglich in nemaska pumpen, damit es für tianqi möglichst teuer wird - und für uns dann wiederum mehr kohle rumkommt, wenn es zur übernahme kommt. natürlich keine handelsaufforderung!

QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Feb. 7, 2013) - Nemaska Lithium Inc. ("Nemaska" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NMX)(OTCQX:NMKEF) is pleased to confirm that it is proceeding with the building of its Phase 1, maximum 500t/year capacity, lithium hydroxide and carbonate processing plant in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec. A construction and installation budget of $25 million has been prepared by Met-Chem Canada Inc. (Met-Chem). The budget includes engineering, procurement, construction management and also a contingency of 15%. The company is considering financing options which include a combination of equity and debt.
The current schedule, prepared by Met-Chem, calls for the Phase 1 plant to be commissioned during the month of December 2013 with production commencing in January 2014. As announced on October 3rd, 2012, Nemaska has signed an off-take agreement with Phostech Lithium of Candiac, Quebec, for the supply of up to 500 t/y of lithium hydroxide. The Phase 1 plant will also be used to supply samples of products to potential clients, with a goal of securing numerous additional off-take agreements. The Phase 1 plant will be installed in a rented space, located about 3 km from the land where Nemaska intends to build its large scale plant, in the Perron Industrial and Harbour Front Park. Construction is scheduled to begin in June, with all equipment expected to be received and installed in November of 2013.
"The Phase 1 plant will allow us to produce lithium hydroxide/lithium carbonate and generate cash flow ahead of the Whabouchi mine construction which is progressing well and is in the permitting stage," commented Guy Bourassa, President and CEO of Nemaska Lithium. "In addition to fulfilling our first off-take agreement and securing future sales contracts, we will benefit from the experience of running and operating our plant on a smaller scale, gaining invaluable know-how as we construct and design the larger commercial facility. The Phase 1 plant will initially be supplied with spodumene concentrate and lithium sulfate available on the open market and possibly spodumene concentrate from the Whabouchi deposit through a bulk sample program. We intend to secure enough feed for 2 years of production while we advance the Whabouchi mine through construction. In addition to processing spodumene concentrate, the Phase 1 plant will also be used to recover lithium from by-product lithium sulphate sourced from industrial rejects. This could represent another revenue stream from the licensing of our technology to industrial customers. This revenue has not been calculated in our financial models at this point and would be entirely upside to the Nemaska story."
The equipment purchased for the Phase 1 plant can be used in Nemaska's planned larger commercial plant or can be sold or leased to a customer wishing to use the Company's proprietary technology to recover lithium from lithium sulphate rejects.
Whabouchi project progressing in parallel
Nemaska also confirms that the Whabouchi project (mine and concentrator) is progressing as expected and is currently in the permitting process. The environmental, social and economic impacts study report for the Quebec Government (Quebec EESIAS) is in the process of being completed. The Whabouchi project is also subject to the review of the Canadian Environmental Agency (CEA). The Company has just received the instructions for the preparation and filing of the environmental, social and economic impacts study required by the CEA (CEA EESIAS) and it is currently in draft. A large portion of the work already completed for the Quebec EESIAS will be used and incorporated in the CEA EESIAS. Once both reports are filed, public hearings will be held, most likely in Nemaska, Mistissini and Chibougamau, before the Federal and Provincial governments can grant the final authorizations for the Whabouchi project. The Company expects the process to be completed within the next 12 months. As the permitting process evolves, Nemaska will issue update reports.
With permitting progressing as planned, Nemaska's consultant Met-Chem is advancing the feasibility study on the whole project (Whabouchi mine and concentrator in the Nemaska Cree community region and a lithium hydroxide and carbonate processing plant in Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Quebec). The Company expects feasibility study to be announced during Q2 of 2013. The completion and filing of the feasibility study has no impact on the overall schedule of the project as construction permits for the mine and concentrator are subject to the receipt of the certificates of authorization to be obtained from the Quebec and Federal environmental authorities.
