Veteran executive Brendan Borg joins Chariot Corporation board

• Veteran mining executive Brendan Borg joins Chariot as non-executive director
• Extensive background in West African lithium exploration to benefit company
• Shanthar Pathmanathan becomes executive chair, more appointments expected

Special Report: Chariot Corporation has embarked on the first stage of a board refresh with the appointment of Leo Lithium director Brendan Borg as an independent non-executive director.

Borg has more than 25 years of experience in management, operations and project development roles across the mineral exploration and mining industries.

He was part of Leo Lithium’s (ASX:LLL) leadership team that guided the company when it announced the binding agreement to sell LLL’s remaining 40% interest in the giant Goulamina lithium mine in Mali to China’s Ganfeng Lithium for US$342.7m ($526.04m).

Borg is currently the managing director of Bubalus Resources (ASX:BUS), a director of Kuniko (ASX:KNI) and geological consultancy Borg Geoscience.

He has also worked for companies such as Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Magnis Resources, Celsius Resources, Tempus Resources, Firefinch and Sibelco Australia.

Chariot Corporation (ASX:CC9) expects Borg’s extensive background in West African lithium exploration to be immensely beneficial as it progresses its portfolio of lithium projects.
