His immediate responsibility is to drive the Company’s Kachi Lithium Brine Project from feasibility through

Gautam comes to Lake from a successful background as project director, having executed the studies,
construction and/or pre-production/start-up of several large-scale projects in South America. These include the
Collahuasi Phase III expansion (Glencore_Anglo American_Mitsui), the Mina Justa greenfields construction

“Gautam offers a measured and collaborative approach to project development with vast experience in South

Steve Promnitz, said:
“This will be invaluable as Lake advances towards delivering on Sustainable Development Goals as part of
driving Kachi into large scale lithium production.”
Mr. Promnitz said Lake continues to expand its team to advance its clean lithium development amid rising
demand for sustainably produced, battery-quality lithium, with the need for such product highlighted by the
COP26 conference and the global drive towards the electrification and decarbonisation of transport and energy.
