“This includes the acquisition and maiden drilling of the El Aguila Gold and Silver Project, advancing the highly prospective Falcon Lake Lithium Project, and completion of maiden drilling at the strategic Bleiberg Zinc–Germanium Project,” Pevcic says. 

These achievements have materially strengthened the company’s growth prospects and provide a solid foundation for future exploration and value creation.”

Broomham says serving Battery Age has been a privilege, having first joined as General Manager of Exploration before taking on the CEO role over the past two years.

“It has been a privilege to serve Battery Age, firstly as General Manager of Exploration and, over the past two years, as Chief Executive Officer,” Broomham says.
