Graham is a senior exploration geoscientist with 14 years industry experience (gold, critical metals, cobalt, petroleum) and most recently 2 years research on critical metals project evaluation methods. A natural explorer with a business focus. Most of his experience has been in greenfield exploration from continent to deposit scales. He also generated prospects to drill-ready status and has worked at the rig during gold and petroleum exploration drilling. He is an entrepreneur, as all explorers should be, and raised EU funding to start an exploration consultancy company. He has worked in a mid-tier and in a junior exploration company, and 3 geological consultancies, thus his exploration work is always with a commercial focus.

Graham's expertise lies in exploration strategy and new ventures, systematically evaluating projects through nation to ore shoot scales. His geoscience approach is to determine a project's probability of success, uncertainty, risks and weakest links. He encourages team collaboration, listening and cohesion, because exploration value is not created by acquiring data, but when a diverse range of specialists work well and respectfully together. Clear communication of geoscience across Engineering, Commercial, Business Development, Socio-Environmental and Governance stakeholders is fundamental to success.
