Canadian graphite developer Focus Graphite said on Monday it had appointed Susan Rohac to its board of directors as it looked to advance its Québec projects and strengthen international partnerships.

Rohac, who spent more than three decades at the Business Development Bank of Canada, most recently managed its $1.1-billion climate tech venture capital portfolio. She replaces long-serving director Robin Dow, who stepped down to pursue other interests.

“We are delighted to welcome Susan to our board,” said founder and chairperson Jeff York. “She brings a strong track record in corporate finance and scaling industrial technologies, with a deep appreciation for Canada’s critical minerals opportunity. Her experience and connections in the industry will be invaluable.”

“I am honored to join Focus Graphite at such an important moment,” Rohac said. “The shift to green energy is driving unprecedented demand for secure supplies of critical minerals, and Canada has an opportunity to lead in building a reliable, sustainable graphite supply chain here at home. Beyond batteries, graphite is essential for advanced manufacturing and defence applications that underpin national security.”

Focus Graphite also announced it would participate in the Canadian Critical Minerals Investment Forum, an international trade mission organised by Natural Resources Canada and Invest in Canada. The forum takes place in Tokyo from August 26 to 28 and in South Korea from August 29 to 30. The company said it would also hold bilateral meetings with potential partners and customers.

Last week, Focus hosted representatives from Korea Mine Rehabilitation and Mineral Resources Corporation at its Lac Knife graphite project in Québec, alongside Rohac. The company also met with officials from the nearby town of Fermont to provide a project update.
