Critical Elements Lithium Corporation deeply mourns the passing of Director Marc Simpson, a valued colleague, respected leader, and trusted friend, who died on April 24, 2026, following a brief illness. Since joining the Board in March 2013, Marc brought steady judgment, integrity, and a calm, thoughtful presence to every discussion. His insight and professionalism helped guide the Corporation through important stages of growth and development, leaving a lasting impact on our organization.
Marc was a distinguished geologist, earning his Bachelor of Science in Geology from the University of Manitoba in 1991. Over a career spanning more than 35 years, he built a reputation as a highly regarded exploration executive, known for his technical expertise, leadership, and commitment to excellence. He was a proud member of Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia and Engineers and Geoscientists Manitoba, reflecting his dedication to the profession and its highest standards.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Marc will be remembered for his generosity, humility, and the genuine respect he showed to everyone he worked with. His ability to listen, advise, and support others made him not only an exceptional director but also a deeply valued mentor and colleague.
On behalf of the Board of Directors, management, and all employees, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Marc’s family, friends, and professional associates during this difficult time. We share in their grief and offer our unwavering support.
Marc’s passing leaves a profound void within Critical Elements. His legacy, however, will endure through the values he embodied and the contributions he made to our Corporation and the broader industry. He will be remembered with great respect and lasting gratitude.
