RE:Congrats to NOUyouknowwhat,
You reiterated "The offtake agreements will run for six to seven years, and they represent about 85 per cent of Nouveau Monde's planned commercial production, which it is aiming to begin in 2027"
That requisite Hydro Quebec electricity transmission and distribution network infrastructure build specifically supporting the Matawine graphite mine project must be fully funded and the go order must be given by Premier Legault to have said supporting infrastructure built.
Without said infrastructure in place the Matawine graphite mine operational costs would make the entire project economically unfeasible and the wheels would be made to fall off the Nouveau Monde Graphite enterprise.
Also, much is contingent upon the necessary driving of demand for specifically North American manufactured SPCG "BAM" and CAM battery material components surpassing projected expectations of supply leading up to 2027.
More importantly, it's highly contingent on the longer term sustaining of the very U.S. "IRA" provisions making possible Federal U.S. Government funded programs supporting the continued forging of the North American battery materials and battery cells development and manufacturing supply chain.
It would go without saying that the global battery-electric vehicles manufacturing industry and all the investment dollars placed toward aggressively supporting said industry thus far would be in grave peril, i.e. should a newly elected U.S. Government administration choose to peal back and seek to gut the integrally important provisions presently allowed by the U.S. "IRA".
