She has great energy, vision, and leadership skills, but, most
importantly, she has boundless enthusiasm for resource-centered
economic development in Alaska. Her enthusiasm is infectious! With
many connections in the Alaska resource, finance, and government
communities, we look forward to Ms. Feige having a positive impact
on our newly relaunched
company.” Corri
Feige commented: “I am very pleased to join the AEMC team and help
deliver critical energy transition metals to the market. The
potential of the Nikolai nickel – copper – cobalt – platinum group
element project is tremendous and stands as a great example of
Alaska’s critical mineral endowment. With nickel and cobalt demand
estimated to increase by 1,900% and 4,000% respectively over the
next 15 years, Nikolai, and projects like it, will be on the
leading edge of meeting the mineral demands of electrification and
new energy storage technologies for years to come.”

Piniun LLC. This Anchorage-based consulting firm specializes in
communications, regulatory issues, permitting, land use and project
planning in resource development with particular focus on mining
and petroleum. Previously, Ms. Feige was Commissioner of the Alaska
Department of Natural Resources (“ADNR”), having been appointed to
this position in 2018 by current Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy.
ADNR is charged with administering the State’s program for the
conservation and development of Alaska’s vast natural resource
endowment.
Ms. Feige also served as a Trustee for the Alaska Permanent Fund
Corporation (the “Permanent Fund”) and while doing so chaired the
Audit Committee and sat on the Corporate Governance Committee. The
Permanent Fund started and sustained by Alaska petroleum production
royalties and has been grown through investing activities to a
total value of over US$76 billion. The Permanent Fund pays all
Alaskans an annual dividend. Finally, Ms. Feige also served in the
Alaska government as the Director of the State’s Division of Oil
and Gas. She is a Geophysical Engineer, having graduated with a
