The board of directors of Stria Lithium Inc. has appointed Iain Todd as president and chief operating officer. His appointment is effective February 22, 2016.
Dr. Iain Todd, a metallurgist and expert in materials engineering, is a graduate of McGill University where he earned his Ph.D in mineral processing and his M.Eng degree in extractive metallurgy. He earned his B.Sc (honors) in metallurgy and materials sciences at the University of Wales.
During the course of his 30-year career in mineral processing, Todd served in various senior managerial capacities for nearly 20 years with the Lakefield, Ontario-based SGS Minerals’ Hydrometallurgy Group focused primarily on the development of metal extraction and product recovery processes for minerals and metallurgical industries worldwide.
Todd’s process expertise includes the management of lithium development programs for the production of high-grade lithium compounds from hard rock (spodumene or petalite), salar and geothermal sources.
Those new technology projects incorporated lithium sources from both North and South America, including Canada, to produce high purity lithium compounds required for applications demanded by manufacturers in the electric vehicle industry.
“Dr. Todd brings both his technical expertise and leadership credentials in process engineering and business development to Stria Lithium as we expand our business operations to meet current and future lithium market demand. On behalf of the board of Stria Lithium, we welcome Dr. Todd’s leadership skills as Stria moves to position itself as a niche, low-cost supplier of lithium foil and other technology lithium metals to the clean energy sector,” said Stria Chief Executive Officer Gary Economo.
