About Andrew Watson
Andrew Watson, P. Eng., brings over 23 years of multifaceted experience in engineering, operations, and corporate strategy across the critical mineral, precious metal, energy, and clean technology sectors. He has been a director of the Company since March 2024.
Since joining Lancaster in June 2023 as Vice President, Engineering & Operations, Mr. Watson has played a transformative role in repositioning the Company as a dynamic exploration platform focused on both critical minerals essential to the energy transition—including lithium and uranium—and strategic precious metals like gold.
Mr. Watson has led the acquisition and technical advancement of all of Lancaster's gold assets, including the 100%-owned Piney Lake Gold Project in Saskatchewan and the Lake Cargelligo Gold Project in New South Wales, Australia (subject to definitive agreement). He was also instrumental in the Company's acquisition and early-stage development of uranium assets at Catley Lake and Centennial East, located in Saskatchewan's Athabasca Basin, the most prolific uranium-producing region in the world.
Prior to Lancaster, Mr. Watson served as Chief Operating Officer at Prism Diversified, where he directed technical development across over 850 square miles of lithium brine (~10.6MM T-LCE, non-compliant),battery metals, and an iron ore deposit with ~219MM tonnes Iron and Vanadium I+I. He oversaw engineering and metallurgical studies focused on the low-impact extraction of critical minerals such as vanadium, titanium, and iron, contributing to sustainable development strategies in the battery metals sector.
At Hyak Energy, Mr. Watson managed the operations of a 60-million-barrel medium crude oil field in Saskatchewan. Using an Alkali-Surfactant-Polymer (ASP) chemical enhanced oil recovery method, he helped increase production by over 250%, ultimately supporting a successful corporate sale in early 2020.
Beyond project development, Mr. Watson is a recognized mentor and innovator in the clean technology ecosystem. He has mentored over 50 early-stage companies through Foresight Cleantech Accelerator and Emissions Reduction Alberta, supporting commercialization strategies in mining, energy, and emissions reduction technologies.
Mr. Watson holds a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calgary and has completed numerous advanced certifications in energy systems, resource project development, and sustainable operations. His cross-sector expertise positions him uniquely to lead Lancaster through its next stage of growth as it advances a diversified portfolio aligned with global priorities in clean energy, supply security, and resource sustainability.
Leadership Transition
Penny White, Lancaster's founder and former CEO, has stepped down and remains a Director of the Company, supporting long-term strategy and capital markets engagement.
