The federal and Ontario governments have said repeatedly that they want to build a lithium battery industry. I worry we are arriving too late now that Sodium Ion is upon us but I am probably being too pessimistic.
None of that depends on this deposit specifically though. Canada already has lots of Lithium reserves. Much of it is in the same district as this. Of course this could end up being the biggest and truly be “the anchor” I suppose.
This is the part that I find interesting:

Even if sodium takes off, lithium still has a higher energy density. Lots of uses will want that, even if it’s more expensive and dangerous.
2nd best time is now. Always.
