QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - May 5, 2014) - Nemaska Lithium Inc. («Nemaska» or the « Corporation») (TSX VENTURE:NMX)(OTCQX:NMKEF) is pleased to announce that it has completed its responses to all questions raised from both the Canadian Environmental Agency (CEA) and the Quebec Review Committee (COMEX) after their review of Nemaska's Environmental and Social Impact Assessment on the Whabouchi mine and concentrator filed in April 2013.

The CEA held public consultations in the Cree community of Nemaska on the project in November 2013. Once the COMEX has completed its review of the information provided by the Corporation, and is satisfied with same, the COMEX will be ready to hold public hearings.
