Sayona Mining (SYA) shares are on the rise as the company's bid for North American Lithium is submitted for court approval. Representing another rung in its Québec expansion strategy, the ASX-lister said it has received support from the administrator overseeing the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, advising that it will support Sayona's joint bid with Piedmont Lithium. Sayona announced a strategic partnership with U.S.-based lithium corporation, Piedmont Lithium (PLL) in January and raised $20 million to fund the offer via a capital raising in March.
