Piedmont Lithium announced that new and expanded high-grade lithium mineralization zones have been identified at North American Lithium ("NAL") in Quebec. NAL is jointly owned by Piedmont (25%) and Sayona Mining Limited (75%). The results of the 2023 NAL drill program indicate the potential for a significant mineral resource upgrade and possible mine life extension.

Multiple thick, high-grade spodumene-bearing pegmatites were discovered beyond current NAL pit operations and the planned pit shell model along the northwest, northeast, and southeast margins. The drill results support potential conversion of Inferred Resources to Measured and Indicated Resources within the pit shell model and could lead to additional resource definition below the pit shell model at depth. NAL restarted production in March 2023 and has consistently achieved record production volumes each quarter.
