Nemaska Lithium's President and CEO Guy Bourassa commented "I am very pleased that the Corporation was added to the Solactive Global Lithium Index and thereby the Global X Lithium ETF. When our annual production of 28,000t of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) begins to come on stream in 2018, Nemaska Lithium will be amongst a small and select group of companies globally that will supply lithium salts to the rapidly growing lithium ion battery market. Inclusion in the ETF ranks us with other major lithium producers and is indicative of our status as an active company in the lithium sector."

The spodumene concentrate produced at Nemaska Lithium's Whabouchi mine will be shipped to the Corporation's lithium compounds processing plant to be built in Shawinigan, Quebec.
