SHAWINIGAN, Québec, Dec. 18, 2018 -- Nemaska Lithium Inc. (the “Corporation”) (TSX: NMX) (OTCQX: NMKEF) held its 2018 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders in Shawinigan. The event was also broadcast live online and will be available on the Corporation’s website, under the Investors’ tab.

In the address he made at the meeting, President and CEO Guy Bourassa pointed out that the Corporation had reached several important milestones in 2018 and the first months of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, particularly in important areas such as financing, detailed engineering, construction, sales agreements and relationships with the communities of Whabouchi and Shawinigan.

“I am especially proud of the progress the Corporation has made in the last few months through the concerted efforts of all our internal teams, supported by our many partners and external suppliers. Everyone is working to help us establish a first-rate trade infrastructure, and at the corporate level, we are carrying out exercises in governance, strategic planning and organizational design that will serve as the strategic foundation to make the Corporation a world-class player and leader in battery-grade lithium”, Mr. Bourassa declared.

Nemaska Lithium also took the opportunity at the meeting to release its 2018 annual report, which provides a portrait of the company’s operational and strategic achievements in the most recent quarters and identifies the main short-term priorities of each of the company’s teams. The report also offers an up-to-date picture of the favourable global markets for battery-grade lithium salts, particularly due to the current and projected dynamics of electrified transportation and energy storage.
