Cornish Lithium plc’s independent non-executive chairman Ian Cockerill has left to become chief executive officer and executive director of Endeavour Mining plc.
Company founder and CEO Jeremy Wrathall will be interim chairman until a replacement independent non-executive chair is appointed.
Mr Cockerill said: “Cornish Lithium has made significant progress over the past two years, and I am proud to have played a part in this.
“The company is at an exciting stage in its development and, following last summer’s financing, has the balance sheet strength to realise its potential.
“I look forward to seeing the company progress as a shareholder and wish the team continued success with the development of its projects.”
Mr Wrathall added: “I would like to thank Ian for his leadership and advice as chairman over the past two years.
“During this period, the company has made significant progress developing its projects and has secured a landmark financing package.
“On behalf of the company, I wish Ian every success with his role at Endeavour Mining.”
