I am a geology and minerals data specialist with over 25 yearsβ experience. As Head of Minerals, I am responsible for a team delivering high-quality outputs from applied research on issues related primarily to the security of supply of mineral resources and associated policy. I assist national, regional and local government decision makers with issues regarding planning for and the future supply of minerals. I also have extensive experience of leading international projects where I provide technical expertise in regard to mineral potential, mineral governance, mineral licensing (cadastre), and mineral information system development.
