Mr. Bonini remains the CEO of Società Chimica Larderello (SCL), a leader in the boron industry since 1818. Mr. Bonini reiterates that SCL is very encouraged by the recent positive results in Erin's Preliminary Economic Assessment, and SCL remains committed to forming a strategic alliance with Erin for the advancement of the Piskanja boron project to the mutual benefit of both companies, despite Paolo's resignation from Erin's board.
