Dr. Anne Duncan
Chief Operating Officer
This is a significant opportunity to contribute to the expansion of an innovative and sustainable processing technology that can play a critical role supporting the US’ domestic battery manufacturing and supply chain ambitions.
​
I am looking forward to working with this dynamic team helping to establish Urbix as the leader in our industry.
Background and Expertise
Anne joins Urbix from Syrah Resources where she served as Vice President of USA Processing Operations, responsible for establishing the first anode material production facility outside of China. While in this role, she was accountable for the engineering design, permitting, approvals, construction, and commissioning of Syrah’s 11.25ktpa CSPG production facility and engaged with the US Department of Energy’s grant and loan programs.
​
Anne will oversee Urbix’s current operations in Arizona, producing Coated Spherical Purified Graphite (“CSPG”), the predominant anode material used within lithium-ion batteries. She will support the expansion of Urbix’s commercial demonstration activities and customer engagement and progress the construction of a commercial-scale processing facility in the US, targeted to begin production in 2026.
With over 35 years of experience working in minerals processing and refining, Anne is ideally positioned to support Urbix’s ambitious commercialization strategy.
