- Critical elements mines development projects, e.g. graphite, lithium, cobalt, nickel, etc., need to be provided immediate financing assistance by way of government funded grants and various other Canadian federal goverment subsidies and "fast tracking measures" of assistance, etc.
- As pertains to NanoXpore and the jointly owned VoltaXplore project, both NanoXplore and Martinrea representatives clearly indicated that they "need to have" the federal Canadian government's assuarces and full detailed discription of what it is prepared to actually "immediately" do to confront the challenge. As Mr. Rob Wildeboer stated, "the rubber needs to hit the road"
Canadians and current Canadian EV battery critical elements mines developers, existing EV battery elements miners (e.g. Northern Graphite Corp, NGC.TSXV), certain battery materials processing and battery materials manufacturing businesses (e.g. NanoXplore, Nouveau Monde Graphite, NOU:TSXV and Novonix), etc., need the Canadian government's most senior representatives to ensure (as Mr. Nazarpour clearly suggested during the panel discussion) that critical battery material elements mining projects are immediately funded and fast tracked into production.
Alas, the federal government ensuring to put out some CBC journalists's recent piece or some Globe & Mail journalist's piece on what the federal minister is continually merely jawboning about the critical elements battery materials and battery cells manufacturing within Canada by Canadian companies, simply isn't going to cut the mustard anymore.
