project development team as Quest's Vice-President,
Development.
"We are delighted that Dr. Naumann has joined Quest" said Peter
Cashin, Quest's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Dirk's
extensive experience in capital project development, acquired with
leading companies in the mining and manufacturing sectors, will be
a significant asset to Quest. His experience will contribute
important capacity to Quest's plans to move our Strange Lake

Dr. Naumann obtained a Diploma in Chemistry (1980) and Doctorate
in Physical Chemistry (1983) from the University of Gottingen,
Germany. His thesis research was directed to the thermodynamics,
chemical engineering and computer modeling of complex chemical and
technical processes.
Dirk's education and experience in chemistry, physics and
chemical engineering was the basis of a 30-year career designing
new products and processes, and managing numerous capital projects
from inception through engineering and construction to successful
market launch. His experience includes metal extraction and
refining, and up-grading to high-purity metals, materials and
compounds for specialty applications such as chargeable battery
materials, for H.C. Starck (a division of Bayer AG), Inco Ltd.,
Eramet SA and other resource companies in Europe, China, Korea,
Japan and Canada. More recently, he advised European and American
companies on process intensification in order to improve their
efficiency and sustainability, and to reduce energy consumption and
generation of undesirable by-products.
Dirk will be responsible for the delivery of Quest's Strange
Lake project advanced pre-feasibility and definitive feasibility
studies, and of project terms of reference for an Environmental
Impact Statement for project permitting purposes. He will also work
with Quest's metals marketing team and manage negotiation of
strategic partnerships and product off-take agreements. Dr. Naumann
will report directly to Peter Cashin, Quest's President and Chief
Executive Officer.
