Nouveau Monde Graphite (NYSE: NMG, TSX: NOU) CEO Eric Desaulniers joins Howard Klein and Matt Fernley to discuss the company’s path to graphite production in Quebec, construction at the Matawinie Mine, financing for the Bécancour anode material plant, and partnerships with Panasonic and Eni.

We also explore graphite prices, China’s dominance of the supply chain, U.S. tariffs and export controls, growing demand for natural graphite, and a potential sulfur byproduct opportunity that could add significant value to the project.
