The Galaxy Project is a hard rock lithium development located in the James Bay region of Québec, Canada. Designed with sustainability in mind, the project will maximise the use of renewable energy and draw on spodumene expertise from our Mt Cattlin operation in Australia. Once operational, Galaxy is expected to produce up to 40,000 metrics tons of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) in spodumene concentrate annually.
