James Brown is the Interim CEO of Sayona Mining after the Departure of Brett Lynch

Sayona Mining’s shares are facing a downturn due to the unexpected departure of Brett Lynch from his role as Managing Director and CEO. The lithium mining company stated that Lynch has resigned for personal reasons, and his resignation is effective immediately. Nonetheless, the company announced that a mutually agreed-upon handover period will be facilitated.

Lynch became part of Sayona Mining in July 2019 and played a key role in various growth initiatives. One notable accomplishment was the acquisition of the North American Lithium (NAL) operation based in Canada, which resumed lithium production in March.

James Brown, a current non-executive director, has been chosen as the interim CEO while the company transitions to new leadership. Brown brings over three decades of experience in mining and management, with a focus on lithium development and operations for more than a decade.

In addition to the management change, Philip Lucas has been appointed as an independent non-executive director. Lucas is a seasoned corporate lawyer with expertise in equity markets, mergers and acquisitions, and corporate governance.
