$SYAXF .165 - Tesla announced a deal last month to buy spodumene concentrate, a source of lithium and important raw material needed for electric vehicle batteries, from the Sayona Mine 560 kilometres northwest of Montreal. Local leaders expect Tesla's deal with Piedmont Lithium, based in Belmont, North Carolina, and part owner of the Sayona Mine, and other area mining operations to bring a significant number of workers to Northern Quebec, home to one of North America's largest natural supplies of spodumene. https://www.costar.com/article/1424554230/tesla-deal-for-lithium-from-quebec-could-intensify-housing-shortage-in-northern-mining-towns?fbclid=IwAR0B2Q68Ygd5TYL3KHsvWIcbTLisgVVOLeCkuZMzLxcWL9PUsDJKyKjPs1M
