“The second quarter of 2026 was a key chapter in NMG’s journey,” said Eric Desaulniers, NMG Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer. “With the successful financing and launch of construction activities at the Matawinie Mine, we transitioned from years of planning and development into execution all while remaining focused on advancing the next major development stage for our 13ktpy Bécancour Battery Material Plant.

The momentum from the second quarter is carrying us into our next stage of growth, with a clear focus on advancing construction at the Matawinie Mine, securing FID for our 13ktpy Bécancour Battery Material Plant, and continuing to position NMG for the opportunities that lie ahead.”
