Allkem - Retirement of Deputy Chair, Mr Rob Hubbard

Allkem - Retirement of Deputy Chair, Mr Rob Hubbard

Allkem Limited (ASX|TSX: " Allkem ," the " Company ") advises Deputy Chair, Mr Rob Hubbard will retire from the Board effective 3 October 2022.

Mr Hubbard was appointed as a Director of Allkem Limited ("formerly Orocobre ") in November 2012 and was appointed as Chair in July 2016. Following the merger with Galaxy Resources Limited (" Galaxy ") in 2021, Mr Hubbard assumed the role of Deputy Chair.

Mr Hubbard has been a key member of the Board and has provided invaluable stability, guidance and leadership over his tenure. Since his appointment as a director of the Company the market capitalisation of Allkem has increased from ~A$180 million to over A$10 billion recently. Together with Martin Rowley, as Chairman of Galaxy, Rob was pivotal to the transformational merger which created Allkem, a business which now has an envied global portfolio of production and development assets.

"I am proud to have been involved in the Allkem journey over my ten years on the Board. The last decade has seen many years of growth and wealth creation for our shareholders. It has given me great pleasure to be involved in a company that has not only provided a material increase in shareholder value but also embraced sustainability as a keystone of its strategy and shared value for all stakeholders. Building a company with the global ambitions of Allkem is a relay not a marathon and I am confident we are in the best of hands with my Board colleagues and Martin Perez de Solay's leadership," Mr Hubbard said.

Allkem Chairman Martin Rowley commented, " I would like to personally thank Rob for his contribution to the success of the Company over the decade he has been involved. When we first spoke in early 2021 both of us saw the huge potential of a merger of Orocobre and Galaxy but it took Rob's guidance and diplomacy as Chair of Orocobre to ensure the successful outcome. Sitting on the Board of Allkem together we have developed a very strong relationship with Rob providing invaluable support to me and the Board in his role as Deputy Chair. I am proud to call him a friend and I wish him and his family the very best in his life after Allkem ."

CEO and Managing Director, Martin Perez de Solay said, " It has been a pleasure to work with Rob who has made a significant contribution to the Company across many areas of the Company.

"Rob has been a driving force in the development of sustainability practices and reporting and has been instrumental in the improvement of governance systems throughout the business. He leaves the company in a very strong position and well placed for the planned development and growth of its world class asset portfolio. I sincerely thank Rob for his astute guidance and enduring support and wish him well in his future endeavours."

This release was authorised by Mr Martin Perez de Solay, CEO and Managing Director of Allkem Limited.

Inside Billionaire Gina Rinehart's Key Mining Investments

Australian billionaire Gina Rinehart has become a formidable force in the global mining industry.

After taking the helm of her father’s iron ore firm Hancock Prospecting in 1993, she embarked upon a diversification strategy that has vastly expanded her resource empire. Now Australia’s richest person, Rinehart has investments in many of the world’s most strategic commodities such as lithium, rare earths, copper, potash and natural gas.

One of those investments is Arafura Rare Earths (ASX:ARU,OTC Pink:ARAFF), which even in a low price environment for rare earths managed to secure nearly AU$1.5 billion in debt financing in mid-2024 to advance its Nolans project in the Northern Territory. With a 10 percent equity stake, Rinehart’s Hancock Prospecting is Arafura's largest shareholder.

Lithium Africa CEO Makes Case for Lithium Investing Amid Bear Market

The CEO of Lithium Africa is making a case for investing in lithium during the current bear market, saying recent moves by major players such as Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) indicate confidence in the market's longer-term potential.

“(Rio Tinto) is the second biggest miner of commodities on the planet. And late last year, they did the Arcadium Lithium transaction, which is the second largest transaction in corporate history, and they've picked lithium," Tyron Breytenbach said during an interview with the Investing News Network.

"Shortly after that, they followed on with a big, multibillion-dollar investment in Chile. Again, the commodity they picked was lithium."

Rock Bottom: Strategic Window for Ground-level Lithium Investment in 2025

When lithium prices hit bottom, savvy investors know that’s exactly where the next big discovery begins — literally. Beneath the surface of global markets and remote exploration grounds, new opportunities are forming in the wake of a sharp price reset and renewed geopolitical urgency.

Macroeconomic and policy shifts in 2025 are creating ideal conditions for those willing to look past the headlines. While volatility in lithium prices has tempered short-term sentiment, the underlying demand trajectory remains strong. With governments reshaping supply chains to reduce reliance on China and accelerate the energy transition, lithium is emerging not only as a critical resource, but as a strategic investment theme with long-term upside.

For investors, this reset isn’t a retreat; it’s a rare chance to get in early, at ground level.
