Talga Group Ltd. announced the appointment of Eva Nordmark as Chair of the Talga AB Board of Directors in Sweden, effective 1 July 2024. This appointment coincides with the progress of Talga Group's Vittangi Anode Project, as it transitions from advanced pre-production to the next stages of execution and operation. Ms Nordmark, who joined the Talga AB board in December 2023, has previously served as the Swedish Minister of Employment and Gender Equality.

Before assuming her role as a Minister in two consecutive cabinets, Ms Nordmark held the position of President of the Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees (TCO) and also served as a member of the Swedish Parliament. The Vittangi Anode Project's potential, supported by a recent mining study, shows scope for increased output from its initially planned 19,500tpa of battery anode to over 400,000tpa of natural graphite anode precursor. Talga's other Swedish projects include the Aero Lithium Project, where exploration is to be conducted in partnership with world-leading lithium producer Sociedad Quimica y Minera de Chile S.A. Graphite and lithium are considered strategic raw materials according to the new Critical Raw Materials Act, one of several favourable legislative developments supporting the EU's Green Deal objectives and the establishment of a European battery value chain.

Talga AB's departing Chair is Per-Erik Lindvall, who joined the Board in 2021. Under Mr. Lindvall's leadership, Talga Group was granted environmental permits for both its Nunasvaara South graphite mine and Lulea Anode Refinery, and progressed front-end engineering for the Vittangi Anode Project.
