Mills's resignation took effect July 21, 2026. The company said he stepped down to spend time with his family, travel, and pursue other opportunities. Mills will move to an advisory role and remain available to the company through September 19, 2026 to support the transition.

Before joining International Battery Metals, Galloway served as Vice President of Finance at QuarterNorth Energy from August 2021 to May 2024, where he was involved in the company's divestiture to Talos Energy, a transaction that returned approximately $1.9 billion in capital to shareholders. Prior to that, he held finance and corporate roles at Fieldwood Energy LLC, Midstates Petroleum, and Dynamic Offshore Resources. He began his career at BOK Financial in reserve-based lending. Galloway holds a bachelor's degree in business and finance from the University of Alabama.

Chairman John Burba said the company continues to pursue project opportunities in the Smackover region and the Middle East, as well as evaluations across North and South America, and that established priorities remain unchanged.
