- Business
- Sayona Mining Limited historically concentrated on the identification, acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral assets throughout Australia and Canada. Its primary focus involved lithium prospects, while also maintaining interests in graphite and gold deposits. In Quebec, Canada, the company maintained complete ownership of the Authier Lithium project and held a 60% share in the Moblan lithium project. A key milestone was the North American Lithium (NAL) operation, a significant joint venture in Quebec, which initiated spodumene concentrate production in early 2023, establishing it as a notable lithium producer in North America. Originally incorporated in 2000 as DiamonEx Limited and subsequently rebranded as Sayona Mining Limited in May 2013, the company was based in Australia. As of August 2025, Sayona Mining Limited completed a merger with Piedmont Lithium, forming Elevra Lithium, which now represents a major hard-rock lithium platform.
