Mr. Julien Davy, P. Geo., M.Sc., MBA Appointed President and COO of Stria Capital Inc.
Formerly Vice President, Exploration, Mr. Davy is a professional geologist and a member of the Ordre des Géologues du Québec (OGQ) with domestic and international experience in advanced exploration projects. Mr. Davy's business experience includes that of investment advisor for SIDEX Limited Partnership of Montréal.
Mr. Davy received his M.Sc., Geo from the Université du Québec a Montréal (UQAM) and his MBA from École des Hautes Études commerciales de Montréal (HEC), the oldest business school in Canada.

Stria owns the Pontax Lithium Project in the James Bay region of northern Quebec, and the Willcox Lithium Project in Cochise, Arizona.
On January 14, 2014, Stria announced its plans to develop proprietary, on-site processing technologies that produce high-quality lithium chloride on an environmentally sustainable, cost-reducing basis.
The potential benefits of the technologies are that they require less controls; less chemistry via the recycling of chemicals, and less energy from a compact processing facility using a simple process.
"In the highly competitive lithium mining development space, it is important, if not critical, that we develop and introduce technologies to provide Stria with a sustainable competitive advantage," said Mr. Economo.
