Mineral Exploration
Frontier and greenfield exploration for Gold & Base Metals — directing multi-million-dollar programmes across Africa and East Africa.
About me
From frontier exploration to large-scale operations.
I specialise in the full lifecycle of mineral assets — from high-risk frontier exploration to large-scale, revenue-generating operations. My career is defined by a commitment to the responsible extraction required to fuel the global energy transition.
Over 15+ years I have led mining operations in Africa and developed mining projects across North America, South America and Europe. I gained operational experience in underground rock salt, copper mines, and opencast lignite and chrome (incl. PGE). I hold an M.Sc. in Mining Engineering and Management, have managed exploration projects in East Africa since 2019, and serve as investment officer of the mining fund, Incomet.
"What cannot be grown must be mined — but it must be done responsibly, sustainably, and economically."
Core track record
- Operational scale: managed mining operations with $50M+ annual revenue and led diverse teams of 120+ employees.
- Capital allocation: oversee mining investment funds exceeding $20M, ensuring disciplined ROI in volatile markets.
- Global exploration: directed $10M+ exploration budgets across Africa, focusing on Gold and Base Metals to secure the critical supply chains of tomorrow.
