Its purpose is to help identify risks, shape commercial strategy, and support the company’s goal of becoming a leading North American supplier of battery‑grade materials.
AEF has also appointed Tyson Hall to the board. With extensive US leadership experience in specialty chemicals and advanced materials, including senior roles at Albemarle Corporation, he will focus on positioning the Fluorite Ridge Project within the most suitable chemical and battery markets.
