With a strong background in mining and mining-related businesses across Australia, Asia and North America, Mr Lynch has a proven track record in advancing shareholder value through converting opportunities to outcomes.
A senior mining engineer and manager, Mr Lynch has more than 30 years' experience in the global industry, including posts with leading resources companies MIM Holdings, New Hope Corporation Ltd., VLI Pty Ltd and Orica Limited, during which time he was responsible for multi-million dollar international operations.

"Brett's appointment comes at an important time for Sayona as we advance the stakeholder engagement process for our flagship Authier Lithium Project in Québec, while seeking to unlock further value from our emerging adjacent Tansim project in Québec along with our prospective portfolio in the world-class Pilgangoora lithium district of Western Australia," Mr O'Neill said.
"Together with our recently appointed Sayona Québec CEO, Guy Laliberté, I am confident we have the right team in place both in Australia and Canada to ensure value for shareholders and deliver a sustainable and profitable new lithium mine at Authier."
