Sayona launches PFS at Moblan
PERTH (miningweekly.com) – Lithium developer Sayona Mining has launched a prefeasibility study (PFS) on the Moblan lithium project, in northern Quebec.
The company said on Wednesday that the studies would examine the development of a mine and concentrator north of Chibougamau, near Mistissini, with the Moblan project serving as the centre of Sayona’s northern lithium hub, including the emerging Lac Albert project.
Sayona MD Brett Lynch said the PFS would spur the development of a new northern hub for the company.
“Since acquiring the Moblan project in October 2021, Sayona has worked to rapidly develop this project with an extensive drilling programme, targeting a major expansion of our lithium resource in an area already hosting world‐scale mines,” Lynch said.
“This study should further enhance our confidence in the quality of the Moblan project and its potential for development as a new northern base of production, adding to our North American Lithium (NAL) operation and the Abitibi hub in the south.”
The Moblan project covers around 433 ha for a total of 20 claims and is held in a joint venture with SOQUEM Inc, a subsidiary of Investissement Québec. The project is located in the Eeyou‐Istchee James Bay region of northern Québec, which hosts established, world‐class lithium resources including Nemaska Lithium’s Whabouchi mine.
The announcement of a PFS at Moblan comes just a day after Sayona announced the start of a PFS into downstream processing options at NAL.
