Thunder Bay Ontario was once known as one of the forest products manufacturing capitals of Canada.
These days, the city looks to be shaping up to become the North American centre of lithium processing for the electric vehicle revolution.
Australia’s Green Technology Metals is looking to fast-track one of its four lithium properties in the Armstrong area of northwestern Ontario into mine production.
The company is further eyeballing Thunder Bay Ontario as a regional processing hub to convert lithium concentrate mined from its flagship Seymour Project into battery-grade material for the electric vehicle industry.
“We’re going to go all the way,” Luke Cox, the company’s CEO, boldly announced at a battery minerals conference held in Perth in early April, about their goal of becoming a major North American lithium player. Green Tech joins Avalon Advanced Materials of Toronto and their plans for a processing plant in the city. Frontier Lithium of Sudbury has a pair of deposits near the Manitoba border but hasn’t divulged where its plant would go, except near a Great Lakes port.
The way things are evolving, Thunder Bay could conceivably host three lithium conversion facilities.
Cox mentioned to the conference audience that the Canadian government has specifically urged them to consider building a lithium hydroxide processing plant in Thunder Bay to feed the number of gigafactories sprouting up across Canada and the U.S.
As a relatively new exploration entrant in the northwest, the company has amassed land holdings covering 35,000 hectares, through staking and option agreements.
“Mining is going to be cream-digging,” he remarked.
A 24-person exploration camp has been established for this summer.
“We actually had a chat. (We said) ‘We’re ready to go, you just need to fast-track our permits.’”
