Mr. Paul Pelosi , Jr. has experience advising companies in business development, environmental sustainability and public policy.  He is currently an Executive Director of the American Kratom Association, as well as an Advisor at National Strategies in Washington, D.C.

"I am extremely pleased that Mr. Pelosi has now joined the Oroplata team as a Senior Advisor,” stated CEO Craig Alford.  “This is an unparalleled time in the growth of lithium portable power and the electric vehicle global marketplace.  We strongly believe Mr. Pelosi will provide our team with invaluable insight into the regulatory and environmental landscape for the industry, and we look forward to working with him as we focus on developing a reliable source of clean energy through the fast growing lithium market in the U.S.A. and worldwide."

Mr. Pelosi commented, "I welcome the opportunity to work with Craig Alford and the Oroplata team to rapidly explore, develop, produce and deliver the much needed domestically produced lithium carbonate for the growing electric car and lithium ion battery industry, as well as for various other high-growth applications.  Increasing the supply of domestic lithium has the potential to lower the cost of electric cars for everyone, provide thousands of new jobs, reduce overall pollution, cut the United States’ dependence on foreign oil, and challenge the status quo of how we drive our lives.  The growth of lithium production in America should be one of our top priorities.”

Mr. Pelosi will play an integral role in promoting Oroplata Resources as a potential supplier of environmentally friendly and economically viable lithium carbonate. Oroplata Resources, with the support of Mr. Pelosi, will help prove that the latest mining technology and ingenuity can be much more than just great for the environment, but can also be economically beneficial for shareholders and the United States.  With many of the automakers making a major shift to electric vehicle production, Oroplata is well positioned to capitalize on these opportunities.
