The strong focus on exploring a diverse range of lithium resources in consideration of emerging technologies, the full supply chain and associated carbon footprint is progressive and admirable.
The lithium market is still very young and there is great opportunity for the next wave of producers to provide an enhanced value proposition to the market. The market wants lithium - but it needs a long-term sustainable lithium supply chain. This is our mission.
I look forward to working closely with MMG's board and shareholders, and to delivering value for all stakeholders."
