Fiscal Year 2026
-
High-purity Quebec igneous phosphate was positioned as a feedstock for onshoring the LFP battery supply chain. Indicated resources rose 378%, with feasibility targeted for Q1 2027 and government financing and offtake supporting development.
-
LFP reached 77% of global battery production, while purified phosphoric acid demand is projected to rise sharply through 2035. Project milestones include a Q1 2027 feasibility study, Q1 2028 permitting and a Q2 2028 final investment decision.
-
The Quebec igneous phosphate project combines high-purity ore, infrastructure access, European offtake and financing covering 75% of estimated $500M CapEx. Feasibility is targeted for Q1 2027, permits for Q1 2028 and initial production by 2030.
-
The project pairs a high-purity Quebec igneous phosphate resource with bankable offtake, government backing and a mine-to-market LFP supply-chain plan. Milestones target feasibility in Q1 2027, final investment decision in mid-2028 and production in 2030.
-
LFP batteries were presented as a growing market, with a North American critical-mineral battery demonstrated in 2025. The project targets feasibility studies in early 2027 and mine production in 2029–2030, supported by offtakes, government funding and export-finance letters of intent.
-
The project secured G7 endorsement, Quebec fast-track status, government support and sovereign-backed financing, while targeting a Q1 2027 feasibility study and initial production by end-2029 to early 2030. A North American LFP supply chain was demonstrated with 150 cells tested for 2,000 cycles.
-
Management presented Bégin-Lamarche as a high-purity igneous phosphate source for battery-grade phosphoric acid, with PEA NPV of CAD 2.1B and 37% IRR. Feasibility is targeted for Q1 2027, FID for late 2027 or early 2028, and production by late 2029 or 2030.
-
LFP batteries are rapidly dominating global markets, with phosphate as a critical input. A unique Quebec igneous phosphate resource enables high-purity, battery-grade phosphoric acid production, supporting Western onshoring of the LFP supply chain. The project is well-funded, de-risked, and recognized by the G7, with key milestones set for 2027.
-
Graduation to Nasdaq and strong trading volumes mark a major milestone, with the company advancing a rare, high-purity igneous phosphate project in Quebec. Backed by government funding, strategic partnerships, and robust local support, the project targets LFP battery supply chain leadership and expects to reach operational status by 2029.
