Ann: Successful Residue Testwork Reinforces QPMs ESG credentials, page-22

Managing Director and CEO Stephen Grocott commented, “Potential offtakers and financiers have been forthright in their communications to QPM regarding the importance of ESG credentials when evaluating battery metal projects. They are already delighted that QPM are already world-leading through our zero process liquid discharge, very small residue proportion and negative greenhouse gas intensity. However, we are now going even further than this to stamp the the TECH Project as a global benchmark. Achieving zero solids waste lifts the ESG bar to a level not even under consideration in the battery material sector. Having been in the resources industry for over four decades, it is refreshing to see mindsets of organisations and people change to ensure tha environmental impact is not just minimised but turned into greater environmental value. I am excited at the potential to make the TECH Project the first zero solids waste project in the world and to exceed the expectations of the companies who will be purchasing our products.”
