5E Advanced Materials Appoints Seasoned Borates Executive to Lead Commercial Program

New senior leadership appointment will be responsible for leading 5E’s commercial strategy, securing offtake agreements, and advancing customer engagement and partnerships

HESPERIA, Calif., Oct. 02, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 5E Advanced Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: FEAM) (ASX: 5EA) (“5E” or the “Company”), a boron and lithium company with U.S. government Critical Infrastructure designation for its 5E Boron Americas Complex, announced the appointment of Mark Zamek to its senior leadership team.

Mr. Zamek joins the Company as its Vice President of Commercial Products and brings more than 20 years of direct industry experience, having held various senior roles across Sales and Marketing functions at the largest global borate producers. Most recently, Mr. Zamek served as a consultant for Eti Maden where he advised the U.S.-focused boron operations on commercial strategy and market expansion initiatives. Prior to that, Mr. Zamek served in numerous strategic Sales and Marketing roles for over twenty years with Rio Tinto’s U.S. Borax, most recently as Key Global Accounts Manager where he was responsible for managing the company’s largest global borates contract.

Paul Weibel, Chief Executive Officer of 5E Advanced Materials, commented, “We are excited to have Mark join our team, as his extensive experience and skillset will be a critical aspect of 5E’s commercial development. Mark’s expertise in the global borates markets will serve to strengthen and accelerate the execution of 5E’s commercial strategy as we look to leverage our initial production results to advance commercial contracting and off-take agreements with customers. As the Company’s strategic priorities evolve towards fully standing up the business and securing our debt financing, this appointment brings in a complementary skillset that is well-suited to facilitate and deepen 5E’s customer engagements and commercial partnerships. We are encouraged by the strategic and operational progress we have made in recent months, and this new addition to our leadership team will help 5E execute our vision of becoming a global leading supplier of boric acid and boron specialty materials.”
