NAL Acquisition
In a major milestone for the Company, court approval was granted for the joint bid for NAL by subsidiary Sayona Quebec Inc. and Piedmont Lithium Inc. (Piedmont) (refer ASX announcement 30 June 2021).
The bid was undertaken jointly with leading US based lithium corporation, Piedmont. Sayona announced a strategic partnership with Piedmont in January this year to expedite the Company's growth plans in Quebec and to enhance access to the US markets and investors (refer ASX announcement 11 January 2021). The final leg of this partnership arrangement was completed in June following the execution of the necessary agreements regarding Piedmont's investment in Sayona Quebec Inc. (refer ASX announcement 8 June 2021)
The integration of NAL with Sayona's flagship Authier Lithium project will transform both operations and create a world-scale Abitibi lithium hub. It will also advance plans for downstream processing in Quebec, aking advantage of its environmental and economic advantages including low cost, renewable hydropower, an established mining services industry and proximity to the North American battery market.
The acquisition of NAL will be achieved through a reverse vesting order type transaction structure, which will entail the implementation of a pre-closing reorganisation of NAL.
