魁北克省薩格奈–(Newsfile Corp. – 2024年2月22日) – First Phosphate Corp. (CSE: PHOS) (OTC: FRSPF) (FSE: KD0) (“First Phosphate”或“本公司”)欣然宣布，本公司已收到魁北克省容基耶爾(Jonquière)區議員Mario Simard閣下對本公司采礦項目和計劃中的淨化磷酸廠的支持函。
Simard先生於2019年首次當選加拿大國會議員，現任自然資源常務委員會副主席，同時也是魁北克集團的自然資源評論員。
First Phosphate首席執行官John Passalacqua表示，“First Phosphate團隊感謝Simard先生及其同事自我們提出將魁北克薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區打造為北美LFP電池穀這一理念之初就給予我們的支持。在加拿大，我們需要領導層支持重大項目，支持為當地經濟創造就業機會，尤其是魁北克薩格奈-拉克-聖讓這樣具有潛力的地區。”

Simard先生在信中指出：“在當前氣候變化的背景下，必須支持和鼓勵所有以具體方式進行能源轉型的努力。在這方面，磷酸鹽是電池行業發展的關鍵因素。磷酸鐵鋰電池（“LFP”）不僅無毒、防火性能優越，而且還直接促進了綠色能源轉型。其生產過程由我們清潔的魁北克水力發電網供電，為電動汽車行業提供了環保電池。得益於豐富的磷酸鹽資源（世界上純度最高的1%磷酸鹽產區之一），我們有潛力通過發展LFP電池產業，成為能源轉型的真正領導者。此外，First Phosphate項目設施的發展還將促進我們地區經濟的多元化，有可能為薩格奈-拉克-聖讓地區額外創造1000到10000個就業崗位。”
