An update from First Phosphate Corp. ( (TSE:PHOS) ) is now available.

First Phosphate Corp., a Québec-based mineral exploration and clean tech company targeting the lithium iron phosphate battery market, has secured conditional approval for a non-repayable contribution of up to C$16.7 million from the Government of Canada through Natural Resources Canada’s Global Partnerships Initiative.

The work, tied to the company’s integrated phosphate concentrate project in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and aligned with offtaker requirements, is expected to generate skilled jobs and potentially underpin a domestic phosphoric acid facility, deepening Canada’s integration into global battery material supply chains.
