Suitability for the current role

Government affairs and economic-development experience

Prior career through current role · analyst inference · medium materiality

Elevra says Gordon leads U.S. government engagement and project-funding work; before Piedmont she spent over a decade at the Gaston County EDC on manufacturer retention/expansion, and holds a corporate-communications degree. These career details are issuer-reported and not fully independently corroborated.

Attribution: Responsibility not applicable. The current issuer profile describes her role and career; independent records for the prior work and degree were not located.

Relevance: Relevant to U.S. government, community and funding engagement for Carolina Lithium.

Current U.S. project-facing government-affairs remit

September–October 2026 · analyst inference · low materiality

The issuer assigns Gordon U.S. government and project-funding engagement. The latest quarterly report says Carolina Lithium's draft air permit was open for public comment and a hearing occurred in October 2026. This establishes a project context during her remit, not her personal involvement in the permit or any adverse conduct.

Attribution: Role overlaps event; causation unproven. Current government-affairs scope overlaps active permitting; the company report does not identify a specific action by Gordon.

Relevance: Relevant to the public-policy and permitting demands of the role.

Evidence gaps

• The issuer does not date exact prior titles or quantify Gordon's individual results; degree and employment chronology remain unverified.

• No person-specific adverse issue surfaced in the limited indexed public searches; this is not a clearance.
