Shervin Pishevar commented, “I’m excited to join Integral Metals in advancing its mission to explore and develop critical minerals—particularly gallium and rare earth elements. These resources are becoming essential to the future of technology, powering everything from semiconductors and quantum computers to defense systems and electric vehicles. It is vital that we source these materials from secure, transparent supply chains in North America—like those in Canada and the United States—rather than relying on foreign regimes that may not share our values or interests. Integral’s focus aligns with my passion for building resilient infrastructure to support innovation and sovereignty. I look forward to helping the company grow its impact and strengthen a domestic supply chain for these strategic materials.” Paul Sparkes, CEO of Integral Metals, stated, “We are excited to have Shervin Pishevar join Integral Metals as an advisor. His experience in driving transformative technologies will be invaluable as we focus on critical minerals like gallium and rare earth elements, which are essential for high-tech applications. With these minerals becoming increasingly important for industries across North America, Shervin’s guidance will help Integral strengthen its role in securing a stable domestic supply of both gallium and rare earths.” On Behalf of the Board Directors Paul Sparkes Chief Executive Officer 825-414-3163 ABOUT INTEGRAL METALS CORP.
