Lake Resources has announced the inaugural appointment of its Senior Vice President for Technology, Strategy and Risk, to deliver on the company’s ambitious targets for lithium production.
Former Corporate Development Officer at McDermott International, Scott Munro, has been appointed to the newly-created position at the company in an attempt to broaden the experience of the Lake Resources management team.
Lake Resources Executive Chair, Stuart Crow, said the appointment was in support of the company’s ambitious production goals, which underpins its aspirational goal of becoming a world-leading lithium producer.
“This role will lead Technology engagement for the company as it transitions towards development of resources and will support the continuing evolution of Strategy and Risk processes in support of long-term value creation for stakeholders,” Mr Crow said.
“This is part of Lake’s aspirational target to produce 100,000 tpa of high purity lithium; underpinning Lake’s aim to become a leading lithium producer globally.”
Mr Munro has overseen the successful delivery of large-scale industrial projects in international markets and has broad experience including general management, strategic planning, partnership development and overseeing technology development.
His prior roles included Corporate Development Officer at McDermott International with responsibility for Strategy Development following a period as Business Unit leader for the company’s Americas, Europe, and Africa (AEA) Business Unit.
“Lake recognises the need for long-term planning and the value of strategic relationships to support corporate growth as the company transitions from exploration to development and production in the high growth Lithium market,” Mr Crow said.
The appointment of Mr Munro follows the appointment of David Dickson to the role of CEO and Managing Director.
Mr Dickson is an industry leader with over 30 years’ experience in engineering, construction, and EPC cost management, across the energy sector and has a proven track record in successfully delivering multibillion dollar resource projects.
