Orbite appoints Charles Taschereau as Chief Operating Officer

Orbite Technologies Inc. has announced the appointment of Charles Taschereau as Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) for the company, effective June 6, 2016.

Mr. Taschereau joins Orbite from Congo Equipment S.A.R.L., a Caterpillar equipment dealer with 1,200 employees and over $350 million in annual sales, where he was CEO. Prior to joining Congo Equipment, he was COO at Canada Lithium Corporation, prior to its acquisition by RB Energy. At Canada Lithium, Mr. Taschereau was responsible for management of its feasibility study, financing and subsequent construction of its lithium project in Quebec. Throughout a career spanning over 25 years, he has held various senior management positions, including project management mandates, financing responsibilities and process engineering at multinational resource companies, including IAMGOLD, Gold Fields and Cambior.

Mr. Taschereau has a broad educational background, and holds an MSc in mining engineering (metallurgy-Laval), an MBA (Curtin), a GMP (Harvard) and a Master in Sustainability (Cambridge), as well as a Canadian CPA-CMA designation.

"The appointment of Charles is a key step in strengthening our operations and project management capabilities," stated Glenn Kelly, CEO of Orbite. "He brings deep expertise in leading complex projects, including financing, budget control and commercialization, and we are very pleased to have attracted someone of his caliber. Long-term, Charles will be responsible for the project activities related to our waste monetization initiatives, as well as play a key role in the general management of Orbite operations, including our HPA plant."

Mr. Taschereau stated, "Orbite's technology is disruptive in the minerals processing industry, which is what attracted me to the company. Considering the value locked up in various waste sources that currently have no or negative economic value, the commercial opportunity for the company is substantial and I look forward to playing a role in pursuing this opportunity."
