The Pontax Advantage is the property’s access to transportation and power.
Relative to most other lithium sites under development in the area – some are hundreds of kilometres from basic infrastructure — Stria’s Pontax property is one of the closest to abundant hydro-electricity and a major paved highway connecting the site to refineries in southern Quebec.
Pontax is also close to the only accommodation, food, and fuel on the James Bay Highway, and continues to provide comfortable living quarters for Stria’s crews working on the Pontax property. This has saved the company the substantial capital expense faced by other companies in having to construct and service a work camp.
