Northern Graphite faces Lac des Iles mining lease suspension, delaying restart plans
Reuters2026/08/19 11:46- Northern Graphite’s Lac des Iles mine restart is likely to miss its Q3 2026 target amid a mining lease suspension notice.
- Quebec’s MRNF cited an unpaid site restoration financial guarantee; Northern plans to challenge the decision in Quebec Court by Sept. 9, 2026.
- The lease suspension is stayed pending a final court ruling, keeping the lease in effect during the appeal process.
- Timing now hinges on securing working capital or other financing following a longer shutdown that strained liquidity.
- Market demand uncertainty for natural graphite adds risk; Northern plans temporary workforce reductions at Lac des Iles to cut costs.
