The Canadian federal government has awarded First Phosphate a $4.8 million contribution to support the development of its igneous phosphate deposit in Quebec. This funding will be allocated towards road infrastructure and the electrical line connecting the mine to the concentrator. The initiative aims to expedite the project towards its targeted 2029 production goal.
“Yes, so it's a $4.8 million contribution from the federal government of Canada. It goes towards the road infrastructure and the electrical line that will be connecting the concentrator from the at from the mine.”
“It sort of dovetails onto the contribution that the federal government made back in March of $16.7 million, which was to get the engineering study and work done for building out the concentrator.”
“I think it goes to show that the federal government of Canada really wants this project to come into production as soon as possible.”
