Resolution Minerals (ASX: RML) has moved to appoint mining specialist Brett Lynch as a non-executive director in preparation for its planned Nasdaq listing and push into the next phase of its US expansion.
The appointment—which is due to take effect before the company lists on Nasdaq—comes as Resolution continues to fast-track its Horse Heaven antimony-tungsten-gold project in Idaho, which recently received FAST-41 status.
Mr Lynch’s addition to the board strengthens its leadership bench at a time when the company is pursuing a sharper US critical minerals strategy built around Horse Heaven and broader North American capital markets access.
North American Experience
Mr Lynch joined Resolution as a senior strategic adviser in July 2025, and has since played a central role in shaping the company’s US-focused critical minerals strategy.
Resolution said his move onto the board reflects a shared view of the strategic importance, scalability and national security relevance of the Horse Heaven asset base.
The company is positioning Horse Heaven as a potential domestic US source of antimony and tungsten, two minerals that have become increasingly important within North American critical minerals supply chains.
Mr Lynch brings more than 30 years of experience across Australia, North America and Asia, with senior executive and operational roles spanning mining and mining-related businesses.
Critical Minerals Track Record
Resolution highlighted Mr Lynch’s tenure as managing director of Sayona Mining, now Elevra Lithium (ASX: ELV), where he led the company’s shift from a small-cap explorer into a large North American producer.
That transformation included the acquisition and restart of the North American Lithium operation in Québec, which Resolution cited as a key example of his ability to build and scale critical minerals businesses in North America.
Beyond Sayona, Mr Lynch has held senior roles with MIM Holdings, New Hope Corporation (ASX: NHC), and Orica (ASX: ORI), and has also served as chair of Ionic Rare Earths (ASX: IXR).
His qualifications include a Bachelor of Engineering in mining with honours from the University of Melbourne, a Graduate Diploma of Business in accounting from Monash University, and a Company Director Diploma from the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Horse Heaven Remains Central
Managing director Aharon Zaetz said Mr Lynch’s industry knowledge, networks, and leadership would be valuable as Resolution advanced its US critical minerals portfolio.
“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,” Mr Zaetz said.
Mr Lynch said Resolution was in the right place at the right time, and had the support needed to capitalise on the strategic importance of critical defence minerals in the US.
“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, as we build upon the enormous value of our flagship project for the benefit of shareholders,” he added.
