During May 2023 a 35-hole drilling program was executed with the goal of targeting strike extension of mineralisation identified in previous drilling programs at all major mineralised pegmatite zones, as well as testing undrilled pegmatite targets focused around the Discovery area
Currently North America’s only major source of hard rock lithium production, NAL is targeting becoming the region’s only vertically integrated producer by 2026 with a move downstream into lithium carbonate production. A preliminary technical study released on 21 June 2023 estimated a fully integrated NAL net present value (NPV) of A$5.4 billion (pre‐tax), including the NAL DFS estimate of 14 April 2023.

Quarter Highlights Québec, Canada • North American Lithium (NAL) restart accelerates towards first production in late Q1, 2023
• Pre‐feasibility Study (PFS) launched for production of lithium carbonate at NAL
• Strategic acquisition and earn‐in of 48 claims adjacent to NAL (Vallée Lithium Project)
• PFS commenced for Moblan Lithium Project, targeting development of lithium mine and concentrator
• Further acquisition of 1,824 claims neighbouring Moblan, expanding northern lithium hub Western Australia
• Joint Venture with Morella Corporation Limited (ASX:1MC) finalised to accelerate lithium exploration in the Pilbara and South Murchison
On recommencement of operations, an offtake agreement with Piedmont will come into effect, whereby Piedmont is entitled to purchase the greater of 113,000 metric tons per year of spodumene concentrate or 50% of production from NAL. Prior to the NAL restart, the agreement provided for offtake of 60,000 tonnes or 50% of concentrate produced from ore mined at The Group’s nearby Authier Lithium Project.

Operations will begin in October 2022,
Operations will begin in October 2022, with work to be carried out continuously, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The fleet of equipment mobilised on‐site will include more than 10 trucks with a capacity of 100 tonnes, and two excavators weighing 125 tonnes. The agreement follows recent progress at NAL towards the recommencement of production, with permitting and procurement largely completed and construction ramping up, among other achievements (refer ASX release 16 September 2022). Sayona’s Managing Director, Brett Lynch commented: “We are delighted to further advance NAL towards the recommencement of production in the first quarter of 2023, with the selection of a skilled and experienced mining operator being a crucial step in this process.

Next Steps A 20,000m diamond drill program has commenced to enable an updated and a new resource calculation on the Moblan deposit, the new Moblan South discovery and Moleon areas. More than 215 new drill sites have been permitted by the Québec resources ministry (MERN), with the objective of exploring and defining new lithium resources at Moblan.
Project Background The Moblan Lithium Project is located about 100km north of the town of Chibougamau and approximately 85km from the Cree (First Nations) community of Mistissini. The project is accessible year‐round via the Route du Nord and its proximity to Chibougamau and Mistissini with their available infrastructure makes it an ideal location for exploring and mining deposits of industrial energy minerals.
Sayona is committed to engaging local communities as the project progresses, including First Nations and other local community members, consistent with its stakeholder engagement approach. In January 2022,
Sayona expanded its northern hub with the acquisition of 121 new claims, the Lac Albert Project, located 3.5km west of Moblan and spanning more than 6,500ha (refer ASX release 25 January 2022).
A till and soil sampling program was undertaken at Lac Albert from: 18 27 May, with a total of 69 x 1kg soil samples and 34 x 15kg till samples collected to identify lithium bearing occurrences and associated elements. In addition, 145 outcrops and boulders have been located and mapped with 56 samples from boulders and 37 samples from outcrops collected and sent to the lab for analysis.

Sayona nabs 60% stake in Moblan project
19 October 2021: Sayona finalised the US$86.5 million acquisition of a 60% stake in the Moblan lithium project in Northern Que?bec following a A$100 million cap raising.
The company says the cap raising demonstrates strong investor confidence in its Que?bec expansion, adding to the Abitibi lithium hub amid accelerating lithium demand from North America’s EV industry.
The project is 40% owned by SOQUEM Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Investissement Que?bec, which waived its right of first refusal in connection with Sayona’s acquisition of the Moblan interest.
The company is planning additional drilling at Moblan next year ( 2022 ) aiming to expand its lithium resource and will undertake a revised definitive feasibility study targeting an increase in its spodumene production capacity.
Last month, September Sayona announced the potential for a significant resource expansion at its newly acquired North American Lithium (NAL) mine and drilling at its Authier Lithium Project also has the potential to increase its lithium resource – together with planned drilling at the emerging Tansim Lithium Project.
