The collaboration is part of Avalon\u2019s plans to establish a lithium battery materials supply chain in Ontario, which will serve the needs of future electric vehicle and lithium-ion battery manufacturers across Southern Ontario. Entering into a commercial relationship with a leading lithium-ion manufacturer such as LGES will help to enable Avalon\u2019s vision to develop a sustainable and secure domestic lithium hydroxide supply chain.<\/p>\n
The MOU was signed in Canada at a ceremony supported by the Korea Mine Rehabilitation, Mineral Resources Corporation, Natural Resources Canada and other partners.<\/p>\n
Avalon, LGES and partners will continue discussions to enter into a definitive supply agreement, with the intention to finalise in around six weeks.<\/p>\n
As new electric vehicle and battery manufacturing capacity grows across North America and Canada, the demand for lithium hydroxide and carbonate has increased rapidly.<\/p>\n
In March 2022, the state of Ontario announced its first \u2018Critical Minerals Strategy\u2019, which Premier\u00a0Doug Ford\u00a0described as “the government’s blueprint to connect industries, resources and workers in our province’s north to the future of manufacturing in the south as we build up home-grown supply chains.”<\/p>\n
Ontario\u2019s rich supply of critical minerals in the North of the region allows the state to take full advantage of the demand for critical minerals in this new advanced technology sector of the economy. The supply chain will create new economic developments by expanding the economy in the North.<\/p>\n
