He has also managed cross‑functional teams including engineering personnel, field crews, subcontractors, and vendors to keep projects aligned with technical scope, safety standards, and budget constraints.

His background includes logistics, supply chain, and site support functions involving heavy‑equipment mobilization, staging yards, and inventory and stock control, mirroring mine requirements for laydown yards, stockpile management, and equipment support compounds. He has negotiated and managed service providers for transportation, maintenance, and materials, supporting reliable uptime and cost control relevant to haulage, plant maintenance, and consumables in a silica operation.

Mr. Barlow has worked in regulated and safety‑sensitive environments, implementing procedures and documentation to satisfy company policy, insurance carriers, and external auditors.

Jason Roe
Chief Operating Officer / Co‑Chief Executive Officer

Jason Roe serves as Chief Operating Officer and Co‑Chief Executive Officer of Energy Point Minerals. He is an executive and entrepreneur with experience leading and scaling businesses across multiple sectors and has been involved in strategic development, business building, and executive mentoring across international and academic settings.

Early in his career, Mr. Roe developed his operating and leadership foundations within the McDonald’s system while serving as a McDonalds restaurant manager at young age during college, gaining exposure to large-scale operating systems and standards Roe was associated with former global CEO Charlie Bell. This experience shaped his focus on disciplined management execution, structured training, and scalable systems.

In 2015, Mr. Roe was invited by University College London (UCL) to serve as a real‑world CEO mentor to students in the MSc Management programme led by Dr. Marco Aponte‑Moreno. In that role, he oversaw applied research, commercial analysis, and execution of a live venture in partnership with a Fortune 250 company, guiding a student team that used primary research to design and roll out a new retail concept. The project established a new company and delivered an in‑store retail kiosk solution for the Fortune 250 partner, scaling to more than 60 physical locations in approximately six months without bank debt, factoring, or traditional purchase‑order financing, instead relying on a disciplined working‑capital model. By structuring secured purchase orders from the Fortune 250 partner to backstop operating lines of credit—where interest accrued only if invoices were not paid on time—the venture effectively converted the client’s investment‑grade credit profile into collateral, materially reducing liquidity and counterparty risk for lenders. This outcome 3mm company sales in 6 months demonstrated UCL research acuracy and Mr. Roe’s ability to design bankable, risk‑hedged structures that align the interests of emerging ventures, institutional investors, and large corporate counterparties.

Mr. Roe is also the author of three books, including The Force Is In You, reflecting his broader work in leadership, strategy, and applied thinking. He has served in executive and board-level roles across multiple ventures, with a background spanning entrepreneurship, growth strategy, and internationally oriented commercial development.

At Energy Point Minerals, Mr. Roe focuses on corporate development, strategic positioning, capital formation support, operational coordination, and the advancement of the Company’s high-purity silica and critical minerals platform in alignment with U.S. industrial demand and long-term shareholder value.
