FMC to buy lithium from Quebec’s Nemaska

Volume 94, Issue 44
FMC has signed a contract with Nemaska Lithium to purchase 8,000 metric tons per year of lithium carbonate, used to make battery materials, beginning in mid-2018. Nemaska has been working since 2009 to develop a spodumene mine and processing plant in Quebec. Spodumene, a lithium-containing volcanic rock deposit, is a common source of lithium in China and at Australia’s Talison mine. In the West, however, lithium is more commonly obtained from brines in the deserts of Chile and Nevada.
The power is now in your (nitrile gloved) hands
