We are passing the ball to NextView and wish them the very best in making SDLA the world’s next significant lithium producer.”, said Paul Matysek, Executive Chairman of Lithium X.
Completion of the Arrangement remains subject to, among other things, final approval of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, with the hearing for the final order to approve the Arrangement being scheduled for February 7, 2018.
