Why are Liontown's shares trading higher?

The company on 10 November 2022 announced in an ASX filing that Craig Williams would stay on as a director beyond the forthcoming Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 22 November 2022. Williams would step down from the board of directors at the AGM, the company had earlier announced.

Details on William's retention

With the award of important significant construction contracts like the Open Cut Mining contract, Structural, Mechanical and Piping (SMP), and Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) contracts scheduled over the upcoming months, the business continues to advance the development of the Kathleen Valley Project. In preparation for the underground mining bids and the start of mining activity in 2023, detailed mine design, optimisation, and evaluation work is currently ongoing.

Williams has volunteered to stay on as a Non-Executive Director of the company to support the company through this crucial stage of its development because of his significant operational knowledge.
