Christopher Ecclestone said:
“I have been an investor and advisor in cobalt and other battery related metals for a number of years and see Global Energy Metals as having an excellent platform for development of a North American integrated supply company with strong existing mineral assets and a team with one of the best understandings of the critical metals space. I look forward to the further exploration results from Nevada and development of a strong critical metals supply chain company.”
Mitchell Smith, President & CEO Commented:
“The need for more urgent and intensive actions to secure minerals of critical importance to the global battery industry is becoming more acute. It is a great vote of confidence for us, and our approach to tackling cobalt and battery minerals supply issues, to have a world renown critical minerals leader like Christopher to join our board.”
“He has the depth of experience, necessary skill set and track record of success, all prerequisites for leading this corporate commitment to operationalize a clear action plan for critical mineral supply chain security.”

Strategies will include collaboration with industry players, examination of recycling technologies complementing our primary source operations and providing an alternative, profitable solution to the benefit of our shareholders and stakeholders. This strategy also combats the significant issue of mineral dependence, traceability and jurisdictional risk that plagues many of the battery minerals, cobalt in particular.
