With POWR’s strategic planning solidly established, the Company’s goal is to establish firm guidance for the development of practical and economically viable mineral processing technologies in conjunction with plans to complete technical and economic studies of its flagship Halo lithium project pursuant to proposed future asset development and potential mining operations.
Mr. Chatterton brings experience in the development and execution of complex projects, including 12 years with the mining division of FLSmidth.

I have been provided an excellent set of tools, assets, and opportunities to work with. I believe the domestic lithium sector deserves smart solutions to ensure supply chain independence. We believe the demand for lithium is poised for an extended period of growth and its clear that national demand combined with justifiable concerns regarding foreign sources has added immediacy to deliver new lithium extraction and processing technologies to market as soon as possible. With this in mind, I look forward to overcoming the short-term challenges and in helping to do our part towards building value for the industry and our shareholders alike.”
