Resolution Minerals Limited (ASX:RML) has appointed two seasoned mining executives, Brett Lynch and Steve Promnitz, as Senior Strategic Advisers. These appointments mark a significant step forward in advancing the company’s U.S.-focused critical minerals strategy, with both experts leading RML’s go-to-market strategy in this industry.
These strategic hires come at a crucial time for the critical minerals industry, as the White House intensifies efforts to fast-track mining permits in a bid to boost domestic self-sufficiency and reduce reliance on imports. The U.S. Government’s strong commitment to this sector is highlighted by the Pentagon’s recent USD 400 million investment in MP Materials Inc (MP.NYS), followed by a USD 500 million investment from Apple in the same company.
Proven Track Record in Critical Minerals
Promnitz played a key role in transforming ASX- and OTC-listed Lake Resources Ltd from an AUD1 million market cap exploration company into an AUD 3 billion critical metals company through the development of its flagship Kachi Lithium Project.
Similarly, Lynch developed ASX- and OTC-listed Sayona Mining Ltd into a multi-billion-dollar entity by acquiring and restarting the North American Lithium operation.
Both Promnitz and Lynch have extensive networks among institutional investors in the U.S. and globally, and are well-regarded figures within the wider mining investment community. They each have a history of successfully advancing U.S.-based mining projects under ASX-listed entities. Their appointments provide Resolution Minerals with not only valuable technical and strategic guidance but also hands-on experience in navigating the complex U.S. regulatory, commercial, and investor landscapes.
Advancing U.S. Strategy and Horse Heaven Project
These strategic hires come at a key juncture, as RML intends to launch a fully permitted drilling campaign at its Horse Heaven Project, targeting critical minerals such as antimony, tungsten, gold, and silver, cementing its transformation into a U.S.-focused growth story in the critical minerals sector.
Promnitz and Lynch will be advising on a broad spectrum of business activities including downstream processes and infrastructure for mining, refining and supply of antimony, tungsten, gold, and silver in the U.S. They will also assist in securing off-take agreements, managing commodity trading, and promoting Resolution across North American financial networks, including institutional and high-net-worth investors. Furthermore, they will be responsible for identifying other commercial opportunities such as divestments, farm-ins/farm-outs, joint ventures and acquisition to unlock asset value.
In addition, they will assist with the company’s plans for an OTC listing and explore potential pathways to NASDAQ. Their involvement extends to helping develop the company’s operational roadmap, assessing operational efficiencies across exploration and logistics, and contributing to risk management strategies.
These appointments complement the recent hiring of Mr Craig Lindsay as CEO of U.S. Operations, announced on 18 July 2025.
