Frank Poullas commented:
“The ability to attract an appointment of this calibre onto the board clearly demonstrates the quality of Magnis Nachu Graphite. Earlier in the week we were delighted to announce two new directors with over six decades of executive experience in the mining, finance and the corporate sector. Today’s appointment now adds a level of experience and knowledge in the Lithium-ion battery industry that is of the highest order.”
“It is a great privilege to have a key inventor of the Lithium-ion battery join and be a direct part of Magnis’ exciting story, and on behalf of our board, management team and shareholders, sincerely welcome Distinguished Professor M. Stanley Whittingham.”
Professor Whittingham commented:
“It is unique for me to join the board of a company but I’m excited by the graphite produced at Nachu. To be able to achieve the battery grade purity and performance minus the use of any chemical purification using Magnis graphite will be a game-changer for the industry and I’m excited to be part of the organisation.”
