Rio Tinto has the option to acquire an initial 51% interest in Legacy over a four-year period under the option agreement. A cash payment of C$410,190 will be made to Saga on or before August 11, 2024.. Rio Tinto will allocate and spend approximately C$9.6 million over the course of next four years, with C$1.7 million allocated during the initial first 20 months of the agreement. Saga will receive annual payments of C$68,365 (a total of C$273,460) and an additional C$225,000 from the property vendors, which is owned by Saga.

After the initial four years, Rio can earn an additional 25% in Legacy, bringing its interest rate to 75% over the subsequent five years. The company will be required to allocate approximately C$34.2 million to the endeavor over the course of the five-year period.

Rio Tinto Exploration will serve as the operator, with the assistance of a technical committee composed of representatives from each partner.

Saga Metals and Rio Tinto Partnership Paves Way for Extensive Exploration of Legacy Lithium Project

Mike Stier, CEO and director of Saga, has stated that this represents a significant milestone in the company’s development and establishes a non-dilutive conduit for the requisite capital to conduct a thorough exploration of our Legacy lithium project in the years ahead. “We are eager to collaborate with Rio Tinto and anticipate a long and prosperous partnership for many years to come.”

The Legacy property spans 342.43 square kilometers and is situated in an area that Saga claims is underexplored but is known to contain pegmatitic lithium showings that are LCT-bearing. It is located within Quebec’s Plan du Nord, which is a plan to develop infrastructure in the northern region.

The Legacy property will undergo the establishment of a base camp, lithological and structural geological mapping, and a suite of geophysical surveys, high-resolution imaging, and spectral analysis this year.

In addition, Saga maintains ownership of the North Wind iron ore property in west-central Labrador and the Radar vanadium and Double Mer uranium properties in eastern Labrador.

Conclusion

The Legacy lithium project in Quebec has achieved a substantial milestone with the establishment of a joint venture between Rio Tinto and Saga Metals. Saga will be equipped with the requisite capital and sophisticated technology as a result of Rio Tinto’s investment and expertise, which will facilitate extensive exploration and development.

This partnership is consistent with Quebec’s Plan du Nord and is designed to stimulate economic development in the region. The partnership underscores the significance of lithium in the global energy transition, indicating that both Rio Tinto and Saga Metals could be on the right path towards potential future developments.
