"Nemaska Lithium is one of only 3 projects worldwide that are permitted and able to respond to the near-term shortage of lithium compounds," commented Guy Bourassa, President and CEO of Nemaska Lithium. "Based on announced construction of new lithium battery manufacturing facilities, industry analysts are predicting that up to 100,000t of new lithium compounds is required by 2021; this does not take into account the expansion of existing battery facilities. While there are numerous new lithium exploration companies being formed weekly, none are as well positioned and advanced as Nemaska Lithium. Our US investors have recognized this investment opportunity and have ranked us in the top 50 of OTCQX Companies."
The OTCQX Best Market offers the best informed and most efficient trading for established, investor-focused U.S. and international companies. To qualify for OTCQX, companies must meet high financial standards, demonstrate compliance with U.S. securities laws, be current in their disclosure and be sponsored by a professional third-party advisor. OTCQX companies are distinguished by the excellence of their operations and diligence with which they convey their qualifications.
