TSX- and NYSE-listed Nouveau Monde Graphite (NMG) has secured equity investments totalling $213-million from Canada Growth Fund (CGF), the government of Quebec through Investissement Québec (IQ) and global integrated energy company Eni.
The private placement, together with a planned concurrent bought-deal public offering of subscription receipts that may garner $84-million, effectively concludes the equity component of the financing package for Phase 2 of the Matawinie mine, in Canada’s Nitaskinan territory north of Monréal.
.......... Notably, Phase 2 development of the mine includes design, engineering and early construction preparation activity.
PROJECT PROGRESS
NMG has already awarded contracts representing more than 50% of Matawinie’s capital expenditure, which includes contracts for construction preparation, engineering and procurement.
The company’s construction manager, Pomerleau, has mobilised on site to supervise the start of preliminary civil works that will start in coming weeks.
The mine is poised to be the world's first all-electric openpit mine, producing 100 000 t/y of graphite concentrate.
NMG has acquired a 143 000 m2 brownfield site adjacent to its greenfield property to build an active anode material production facility dedicated to Panasonic Energy – a subsidiary of Panasonic Holdings Corporation.
The facility is planned to be a 13 000 t/y battery material plant called Bécancour.
NMG plans to align construction and commissioning timelines of the plant with that of the Matawinie mine.
