Bravo to another step toward making Canada a sustainable player in the global #criticalminerals supply chain. We need more of the same across the nation to reflect the urgency of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At #northerngraphite we are driving hard to finance an extension at Lac des Iles and keep North America's only #graphite mine going for another eight years. https://lnkd.in/gnZ_Q9cS

Northern is poised to be a significant supplier of graphite to the EV revolution and widescale electrification.
About us
As North America’s only producer of natural graphite, Northern Graphite is in a unique and strategic position. Our role extends beyond mere supply; we are at the forefront of powering electric vehicles with essential battery anode materials. It is more than a business for us – it’s about being a key player in the global shift towards electrification.

Hugues Jacquemin speaks to Les Affaires' Francois Normand about the challenges facing the Company as it looks to finance a pit extension and extend the life of Lac des Iles, North America's only producing flake #graphite mine, for another eight years, rather than have it go into care and maintenance at a time when #criticalminerals have been catapulted to the top of the government agenda, in Canada and around the world. https://lnkd.in/eR-yyYmY

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s (“Commerce”) preliminary determination last week that China is dumping #graphite Active Anode Material (AAM) into the USmarket marks a change in the North American battery materials landscape, especially when viewed alongside President Donald Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” In its July 17 determination, Commerce imposed preliminary anti-dumping (AD) tariffs of 93.5% on imports of Chinese graphite-based active anode material, including AAM within finished lithium-ion batteries. The effective tariff rate for AAM is now 160% when added to countervailing duty (CVD) tariffs of 11.5% placed by Commerce in May, President Trump’s blanket 30% tariff on goods from China, and 25% Section 301 tariffs implemented by USTR last year. The measures are effective almost immediately and are retroactive, meaning importers must post large cash deposits on recent and future shipments. #criticalminerals #energytransition https://lnkd.in/eszWgbC6

Hugues Jacquemin speaks to the Globe and Mail newspaper about the challenges facing the Company as it works to secure financing to extend the life of Lac des Iles, North America's only graphite mine, at a time when critical minerals are at the top of government agendas, in Canada and across the world. https://lnkd.in/eYRvRpd2

We applaud the U.S. Department of Commerce preliminary determination today that China is wrongfully dumping #graphite active anode material into the United States, which marks a key step toward creating a US graphite industry that is able to compete with China. “This marks important progress toward leveling the playing field and the potential for demand to shift to non-China suppliers, including ourselves,” said Northern Chief Executive Officer Hugues Jacquemin. “At a higher level, it’s another step forward for the West as it seeks to de-risk its critical minerals supply chains.” #criticalminerals #energytransition #evrevolution Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eyuUzvUR

L'unique mine de #graphite d'Amérique du Nord attire plus que jamais l'attention, car les #minéraux critiques ont été catapultés au sommet des agendas gouvernementaux, le Canada, les États-Unis et l'UE cherchant à mettre en place des chaînes d'approvisionnement sûres dans l'Ouest. L'ambassadrice de l'UE au Canada, Geneviève Tuts, a visité LDI la semaine dernière. https://lnkd.in/ewfqcZdq

North America's only #graphite mine is drawing more attention than ever as #criticalminerals have been catapulted to the top of government agendas as Canada, USA and the EU seek to build secure supply chains in the West. EU Ambassador to Canada, Geneviève Tuts, visited LDI last week. https://lnkd.in/gGXm6tMX

In a joint press conference on Friday that received little media coverage, Canada’s Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly and Stéphane Séjourné, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy, outlined deeper industrial and economic cooperation, particularly in securing supply chains for critical minerals. Held amid rising US tariffs, the event underscored what Joly described as a shift toward “economic diplomacy,” aligning trade, investment, and industrial policies more closely with national security and defense goals, and followed the signing in recent weeks of agreements between Prime Minister Carney and EU officials focused on rearming Europe, strengthening industrial capacity, and securing raw material inputs critical to both economic and defense priorities. A day prior, Mr. Séjourné visited Northern Graphite’s Lac des Iles mine in Quebec - the only natural #graphite producer in North America. Graphite plays a strategic role in defense and industrial applications, including lubricants, refractories in steelmaking, and energy storage. “Referring to #criticalminerals, what we are clearly seeing is that there is lots of interest from many countries, particularly countries from the European Union, looking to invest in Canada,” said Joly, pointing to the importance of Canadian critical minerals mines. “We are seeing that we can be a part of these very secure supply chains… and while there are geopolitical tensions right now, we cannot have just one country in the world as the source of critical minerals.” https://lnkd.in/eaCRMdQD
