\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gooding brings more than two decades of experience in strategic and financial analysis, debt funding, corporate finance, M&A, financial accounting and governance via business based in Australia, Singapore, London and Washington DC.<\/p>\n

This includes acting as joint project leader in obtaining expansion financing for Fortescue (ASX: FMG)<\/a> totalling US$3.5bn.<\/p>\n

She most recently served as CFO and global head of commercial at Fortescue Future Industries \u2013 FMG\u2019s dedicated green hydrogen arm \u2013 where she led its finance division, including the specialist project financing team responsible for securing financing to enable financial investment decisions for green energy projects.<\/p>\n

Gooding also has a long history working alongside FMG chair Forrest, having been Deputy CEO of the Minderoo Foundation and chief operating officer and CFO of both the Minderoo Foundation and Tatterang, the private family office and investment vehicle for Andrew and Nicola Forrest.<\/p>\n

In recent years, Gooding has also served on the boards of junior explorers Poseidon Nickel (ASX: POS)<\/a> and Impact Minerals (ASX: IPT)<\/a>, green and clean energy projects developer Zhero BV and the Freedom Fund.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

An opportune appointment for a world-first project<\/h2>\n

Gooding joins VUL with Phase One financing for the company\u2019s Zero Carbon Lithium project in Germany well under way.<\/p>\n

VUL managing director and CEO Cris Moreno said Gooding\u2019s appointment was \u201copportune\u201d given the current stage of project development.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with the appointment of Ms Gooding and believe her extensive global CFO experience will be important in Vulcan\u2019s next stage of commercial growth,\u201d Moreno said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Gooding has worked across capital markets, debt and equity structures and brings a wealth of knowledge in financing of major projects.\u201d<\/p>\n

VUL\u2019s flagship geothermal project is home to Europe\u2019s largest lithium resource (27.7MT contained lithium carbon equivalent at 175 mg\/L) and is set to produce renewable heat and power, as well as enough lithium hydroxide for ~500,0000 battery electric vehicles each year in Germany\u2019s Upper Rhine Valley.<\/p>\n

Phase One development is targeting 24,000tpa of lithium hydroxide production via an environmentally friendly Direct Extraction Method which uses the project\u2019s own geothermal brine to extract the lithium.<\/p>\n

It is set to be the first project of its kind anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Last month, the company completed a positive Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) which it said opens the project to potential \u2018green\u2019 financing options<\/a>.<\/p>\n
