Ann: Quarterly Activities and Cash Flow Reports March 2023, page-2

IMO, while Dr Hartley is only a Non-Executive Director, much of the future success (or failure) of the Narraburra project will depend on the quality of the advice he provides to GRL.


From the GRL website:

Dr Christopher Hartley
Non-Executive Director

Chris Hartley has a strong background in process metallurgy, with significant worldwide experience in the development of critical minerals and base metal projects including Global Practice Leader – Processing at BHP Billiton based in London. In his subsequent roles, Dr Hartley as Technical Director Strategic Materials led a team to provide secure supply of specialty materials for a lower carbon energy provider based in California USA. The role included developing process technologies which are particularly applicable to the commercialisation of ionic clay REE mineralisation.
