“I am excited to join Edison Lithium and look forward to working with the management team and Board to build on the Company’s foundation, advance its projects, and create long-term value for shareholders,” said Mr. Gill.

The Company is delighted to welcome Mr. Gill to the Company as his depth of experience in corporate development and capital markets will be instrumental as the Company advances its strategic objectives. A. Paul Gill replaces Nathan Rotstein, who has retired from his management and Board roles.
