The project, spearheaded by a junior Australian firm, seeks to build a lithium mine less than 100 meters from the Saint-Mathieu-Berry esker, a ridge of stratified sand and gravel that naturally filters rain and snow in the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region.

The esker provides drinking water to many of the towns in the Abitibi, including Amos, which has twice won awards for having the best tap water in North America. #polqc
