Post by dan_s »

Since hosting our first webinar on July 29, 2020 NMGRF is up 245%

2020 YEAR IN REVIEW
Nouveau Monde Achieves Significant Milestones, Successfully Establishing Its Position as a Leading Vertically-Integrated Lithium-Ion Battery Anode Company for the Electric Vehicle and Clean Energy Revolution

"We are pleased to have delivered on our commitment to advance our vertically-integrated graphite project in order to offer the electric vehicle and renewable energy sectors, ethically-sourced and carbon-neutral, lithium-ion battery anode material by 2023." - Eric Desaulniers, President & CEO

HIGHLIGHTS

Nouveau Monde, demonstrated the continued commitment to responsible and sustainable development and strengthened our social, economic and environmental partnership with our host community of Saint-Michel-des-Saints, signing a progressive collaboration and benefit-sharing agreement

Completed a successful public consultation process culminating in a positive assessment by the environmental commission, the BAPE, as part of the Government’s diligent review for granting the Mining Decree for the Matawinie project

Successful commercialisation of Nouveau Monde’s carbon-neutral anode and advanced battery materials, including the outperformance of our proprietary coated anode material compared to peers, and established European operations to respond to the worldwide increase in lithium-ion battery anode material demand

De-risked commercial development through the construction and commissioning of large-scale demonstration plants for value-added transformation to battery anode material and other advanced products

Nouveau Monde’s international technical team, in partnership with our R&D consortium partners, advanced the development of our proprietary lithium-ion battery anode process, including silicon-enhanced anode material, and finalised a collaboration agreement with Volkswagen- and Mitsui-backed advanced coating company, Forge Nano

As a world first, confirmed our full commitment to sustainable and carbon-neutral, all-electric operations, underpinned by Nouveau Monde’s advanced mine planning and supported by Quebec’s renewable hydropower. Based on our achievements, we were selected by the Quebec and Canadian Governments as a key partner for the electrification of mining operations

Selected by the Quebec Government as the sole pilot project to implement the Global Battery Alliance’s traceability of critical minerals for the mining and battery materials industries in Québec

"2020 was a transformational year for Nouveau Monde. We accomplished much in all departments. I want to thank all of my team members and all stakeholders, as it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to transition the Company from a junior mining company with a natural graphite deposit, to a fully-integrated, carbon-neutral, battery anode materials producer. Thanks to the professionalism of the entire team, I’m particularly proud that we were successful at achieving very specific and important operational milestones at our Saint-Michel-des-Saints plant safely, without injuries, while maintaining our employees health during these difficult pandemic times. By this time next year, the Company will look much different: we will be operating our purification furnaces at Bécancour, producing high-quality anode material destined to the EV market; we will be in construction of the mine and commercial facilities for the entire operation, and as for potential partnerships, we are eager to advance discussions and complete a partnership with a lead client in the LiB market. 2021 will be another remarkable year”
