Why Has Sayona Mining Limited Undergone Board of Director Changes?
Australian lithium producer Sayona Mining Limited has announced changes to its Board of Directors as it enters a new phase of growth. The company's Managing Director and CEO, Brett Lynch, has resigned for personal reasons and will leave the company immediately. In his place, James Brown, currently a Non-Executive Director, has been appointed as the interim CEO to guide Sayona's operations and oversee a restructuring of the Board. Additionally, Philip Lucas, an experienced corporate lawyer, has been appointed as an independent Non-Executive Director.
Transitioning to New Leadership
During his tenure, Brett Lynch played a crucial role in the acquisition of the North American Lithium operation in Québec, Canada, which resumed lithium production earlier this year. Lynch's resignation is effective immediately, but he will facilitate a smooth handover period. The Board expressed its gratitude for his service to the company and wished him well in his future endeavors.

Experience and Expertise
James Brown, who has more than 30 years of experience in mining and management, including 10 years in lithium development and operations, will serve as the interim CEO. Brown will ensure a seamless transition and continuity in Sayona's business as it implements its previously announced Board restructuring.
Philip Lucas, the newly appointed independent Non-Executive Director, brings a wealth of experience as a corporate lawyer with a focus on equity markets, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance. He has worked on cross-border M&A transactions involving Australian, U. S. , and Canadian companies. Lucas will also join the Audit and Risk, and Remuneration and Nomination Committees.
Strategic Review
With the change in leadership, Sayona's Board will conduct a thorough review of its operations and strategic direction, aiming to further enhance shareholder and stakeholder value. The company is currently focused on the production and sales ramp-up of its North American Lithium operation while also exploring and assessing its existing portfolio, including the northern Moblan Lithium Project.
Looking Ahead
Sayona Mining Limited, with its 75% shareholding in the North American Lithium operation, has recently entered the lithium concentrate production phase. The company has already made its first shipment of spodumene to the international lithium market. Moving forward, Sayona will prioritize the production and sales growth of its lithium operation while simultaneously exploring and evaluating its other assets.
