Lithium Universe Ltd (ASX:LU7, OTC:LUVSF) managing director Alex Hanly joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the establishment of a joint committee with the Tribal Council representing the Abenaki Council of Odanak and the Abenaki Council of Wôlinak (W8banaki) to oversee the collaborative development of a proposed lithium refinery in Bécancour, Québec, Canada. The committee is structured to ensure both parties are fully engaged and informed throughout the development process, promoting mutually beneficial relations. Each party will have two representatives who will manage communication, project timelines, culturally safe collaboration and compliance. Hanly expressed his appreciation for the W8banaki representatives, noting their practical approach and extensive experience in battery supply chains and similar committees. The W8banakiak, recognised as traditional landowners of the Bécancour Waterfront Industrial Park, play a critical role as key stakeholders in the proposed lithium refinery project. The W8banaki people historically occupied large-forested areas in southern Québec and parts of the northeastern United States before European arrival. #ProactiveInvestors #ASX #LithiumUniverse, #LU7, #W8banaki, #Bécancour, #LithiumRefinery, #BatteryMetals, #ASX, #Québec, #SustainableDevelopment, #IndigenousCollaboration, #Mining, #IndustrialPark, #TribalCouncil, #LandRights, #Abenaki, #CanadaMining, #EnergyTransition, #BatterySupplyChain, #EnvironmentalStewardship #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews
