Executive Comments
Chief Executive Officer Paul Weibel stated, “We are pleased to secure additional funding that provides 5E with the ability to progress towards commercialization of our large-scale boron facility. This capital will allow 5E to play our role in strengthening domestic supply chains to ensure that the United States no longer has a single point of failure in the strategically important boron supply chain. Recent executive orders have stressed the importance of mining in the United States, and 5E boasts a multi-generational resource that is progressing towards shovel-ready status and is targeting to reach commercial scale during the current administration’s term. We believe 5E’s project and commercialization can catalyze skilled job creation in America while bolstering US exports and the national industrial base, and this funding drives us towards our business goals.”
