Atlantic Lithium Limited (AIM: ALL | ASX: A11 | OTCQX: ALLIF), has appointed Keith Muller as chief executive officer, and Len Kolff as head of business development and chief geologist, both effective immediately.
The company is a funded African-focused lithium exploration and development company targeting to deliver Ghana’s first lithium mine.
Mr. Muller has over 20 years of operational and leadership experience and a background in hard rock lithium mining and processing, specifically in dense medium separation spodumene processing.
As CEO, he assumes the position held by Len Kolff on an interim basis since March 2022, following the passing of Atlantic Lithium’s founder and former CEO, Vincent Mascolo.
Mr. Muller joined the company in November 2022, initially as COO, to drive the company’s transition from explorer and developer to a producer of high-quality, battery-grade spodumene concentrate.
Having provided Mr. Muller a period to build his knowledge of the Ewoyaa Lithium project and implement important operational improvements, the board believes the time is now right for him to lead the company through the construction phase and on to first production.
Mr. Muller will be fully focused on bringing Ewoyaa into production, while Neil Herbert, Executive Chairman, will continue to oversee the wider corporate activities of the company including, strategy, business development, finance, commercial, and investor relations.
As head of business development and chief geologist, Mr. Kolff will be responsible for the ongoing exploration activities of the company and identifying and developing growth opportunities.
Neil Herbert, executive chairman of Atlantic Lithium, said: “Since joining as COO in November 2022, Keith has already contributed significantly to developments and improvements across the project. Keith is one of very few people with direct experience of operating a lithium mine with similar characteristics to Ewoyaa. He is in the process of establishing the Ghanaian team that will build and operate the mine, leading the Company through the construction phase and onward to first production.”
