Export Development Canada (EDC) has committed up to C$100 million to finance the development of Green Technology Metals' Seymour Lake lithium project in Ontario. The project, poised to become the province's first lithium producer, received strong interest from EDC, which sees it as a key asset in building Canada's critical mineral supply chain for the energy transition.

Seen as a key asset, the lithium mine operated by Australia’s Green Technology Metals (ASX: GT1) could become the province’s first lithium producer. On Dec. 23, Green Technology received a letter of interest from EDC.
It outlined financial support, pending reviews and due diligence, the company said in a statement Monday. The province wants to build critical mineral supply chains for the energy transition. “EDC’s support potentially increases sourcing flexibility, allows greater access to low-cost direct lending and is non-dilutive to GT1 shareholders,” GT1 managing director Cameron Henry said in a statement.

Electric Royalties owns a 1.5% net smelter royalty on the project. Green Technology plans to use EDC’s funding alongside interest from a global lending base to secure the financial backing for construction.
