Nemaska Lithium has been included in the Solactive Global Lithium Index, which is tracked by the Global X Lithium ETF.
The Solactive Global Lithium Index tracks the performance of the largest and most liquid listed companies active in exploration and/or mining of lithium or the production of lithium batteries.
The index is calculated as a total return index in USD and is readjusted once a year.
The Global X Lithium ETF invests in the full lithium cycle, from mining and refining the metal, through battery production and gives investors access to the complete lithium value chain.
Nemaska Lithium's president and CEO Guy Bourassam says: "I am very pleased that the corporation was added to the Solactive Global Lithium Index and thereby the Global X Lithium ETF. When our annual production of 28,000t of lithium carbonate equivalent (LCE) begins to come on stream in 2018, Nemaska Lithium will be amongst a small and select group of companies globally that will supply lithium salts to the rapidly growing lithium ion battery market. Inclusion in the ETF ranks us with other major lithium producers and is indicative of our status as an active company in the lithium sector."
