So far, so rosy. But plans to mine elements such as lithium have
been around for decades in the NorthwestTerritories, without
much progress. Nor are lithium mines suddenly guaranteed
winners with the advent of electric cars. In late 2014, despite being
labelled the "only significant lithium producer in North America," a
new lithium mine in Quebec abruptly closed after hitting a range
of problems. Among those issues was a delay processing the
lithium — and this is where Daniela Desormeaux, a Chile-based
lithium expert, voices concern for N.W.T. startups. Source -

Canada hosts vanadium deposits in locations such as Manitoba,
Ontario and Quebec.Total reserves are unknown at this time, but
plenty of companies are working in the country to develop
projects. Source - http://investingnews.com/daily/resource-
