Mr. Babiuk’s experience spans exploration through engineering, production and management of numerous oil and gas projects across the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin and various reservoir types (i.e. sour, high pressure, and high water cut). Mr. Babiuk is very proficient in oil and gas field production operations including emulsion treating, high volume artificial lift, facility and pipeline design and optimization.

Mr. Babiuk joins Dr David Dreisinger and Dr Gary Kordosky, both accomplished metallurgists and holder multiple patents on mineral extraction who joined the Company’s Board of Advisors in October 2022. Drs Dreisinger and Kordosky experienced in lithium will be guiding the company on selection of Direct Lithium Extraction (DLE) technology.
