Mission Island Lands

The Mission Island Lands comprise 183 acres of heavy industrial property, including a 50-acre water lot, making it an ideal site for the Company’s proposed lithium conversion facility. The site boasts existing high-voltage infrastructure, proximity to utilities, rail and access to water transportation networks, ensuring connectivity to provincial, national, and international markets.

“Securing land for Frontier Lithium’s future plans in the City of Thunder Bay marks a pivotal moment for Northern Ontario,” said Trevor Walker, Chief Executive Officer of Frontier Lithium. “This investment reinforces Ontario’s strength as a critical hub for Canada’s battery materials sector and the global clean energy transition. In addition to housing our planned lithium processing facility, regional office, and innovation centre, Thunder Bay is ideally positioned to support the broader regional lithium supply chain as new resources come online.”

“Thunder Bay has long been a hub for Ontario’s mining industry. With Frontier as an anchor, we believe Thunder Bay will become a center for critical mineral processing,” said Ken Boshcoff, Mayor of Thunder Bay. “We’re excited about what Frontier is planning and for the economic opportunities they’ll help create.”

As part of its commitment to sustainable resource development, Frontier Lithium is working closely with community partners, industry stakeholders, and government agencies to ensure the successful execution of this transformative project in Thunder Bay—reinforcing Canada’s position as a global leader in battery materials production.
