Seasoned mining executive Brett Lynch will join Resolution Minerals Ltd (ASX:RML, OTCQB:RLMLF, FRA:NC3)'s board as a non-executive director, as the company prepares for its next phase of US growth. Lynch will join ahead of the company’s planned NASDAQ listing.

The appointment sharpens Resolution’s focus on the US market, where it is advancing its flagship Horse Heaven antimony-tungsten-gold project in Idaho and positioning itself as a potential supplier of critical minerals into the American market. The company said Lynch had already been helping shape that strategy in his role as senior strategic adviser since July 2025.

Lynch brings more than 30 years of mining experience across Australia, North America and Asia, with a background spanning operational, executive and board roles. For Resolution, the key attraction is his North American critical minerals experience and his record in building and scaling resource businesses.

North American experience in focus

Most notably, Lynch previously served as managing director of Sayona Mining, now Elevra Lithium, where he led the company’s transformation from a small-cap lithium explorer into a multibillion-dollar North American lithium producer. That included the acquisition and restart of the North American Lithium operation in Québec, helping establish Sayona as a participant in the region’s battery materials supply chain.

He has also held senior roles with MIM Holdings, New Hope Corporation and Orica, and currently serves as chairman of Ionic Rare Earths. Resolution said his industry knowledge, investor and government networks across Canada and the US, and experience delivering major critical minerals projects would add weight to the board as the company pursues expansion in North America.

Managing director Aharon Zaetz said Lynch’s track record of taking North American critical minerals projects through development and into production aligned closely with Resolution’s plans for Horse Heaven.

“We are delighted to welcome Brett to the board. His track record of bringing North American critical minerals projects to development and production, and delivering multibillion-dollar shareholder value in the process, is directly aligned with Resolution’s strategic vision for Horse Heaven. Brett’s industry know-how, networks and leadership will be invaluable as we progress our US critical minerals portfolio.”

Lynch said he saw strong timing and strategic backing for the company’s US ambitions.

“I am very pleased to join the Resolution Minerals board at this transformational time for the company,” he said.

“I look forward to working with the board and management team to unlock the full potential of Horse Heaven and support the growth of the company’s investor base across North America and globally.”
