Temas Resources Corp. (ASX: TIO | CSE: TMAS | OTCQB: TMASF | FSE: 26P0) (“Temas” or the “Company”) today announced the appointment of Dr. Santiago Faucher to its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), enhancing its technical leadership as the Company advances the commercialisation of its proprietary Regenerative Chloride Leaching (RCL) technology.
Dr. Faucher is a Toronto-based chemical engineer and globally recognised process development expert with more than 30 years of experience across the mining, metallurgical and chemical industries. His expertise spans process development, scale-up and commercialisation of complex technologies, with successful deployments across five continents.
The appointment strengthens Temas’ ability to transition its RCL platform from advanced development into large-scale commercial application, particularly across critical minerals processing and hydrometallurgical systems.
Dr. Faucher currently serves as President of Insight R&D Inc., where he leads the development and implementation of advanced process technologies for mining and metallurgical clients. His experience includes uranium extraction, base metal recovery systems, slag valorisation and chemical production processes, with a focus on complex ores and unconventional processing routes.
He holds a B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and is an inventor on more than 60 U.S. patents, many of which have been successfully commercialised. Dr. Faucher has also authored numerous technical publications and previously served as President of the Canadian Society for Chemical Engineers and as an adjunct professor at McMaster University.
Commenting on the appointment of Dr. Faucher, Tim Fernback, President & CEO of Temas Resources, stated:
“We are very pleased to welcome Dr. Faucher to our Scientific Advisory Board. His extensive experience in process development, hydrometallurgy and commercialisation at a global scale will be instrumental to Temas as we continue to advance and deploy our RCL technology. Dr. Faucher’s ability to bridge innovation and industrial implementation aligns perfectly with our strategy to accelerate adoption of RCL across a broad range of mineral applications.”
As a member of the Scientific Advisory Board, Dr. Faucher will provide independent technical guidance to Temas’ management team, supporting process optimisation, scale-up strategies and evaluation of third-party mineral feedstocks for potential licensing and joint venture opportunities.
The appointment further strengthens the depth of expertise within Temas’ Scientific Advisory Board and reinforces the Company’s focus on scientific rigor and technical excellence as it advances global deployment of its RCL platform.
Temas’ RCL platform is an advanced hydrometallurgical processing technology designed to extract metals from complex mineralisation, concentrates, slags and tailings in an environmentally responsible manner. The technology enables the processing of low-quality feedstocks into high-value products, operates at lower temperatures and atmospheric pressure, and incorporates closed-loop reagent recycling to reduce costs and environmental impact.
The Company continues to build out its Scientific Advisory Board, with additional appointments expected in the coming months, as it progresses global commercialisation opportunities for its proprietary processing technology.
