Our efforts focus on advancing sustainable development by securing future raw material resources. We investigate the core geological mechanisms behind ore deposit formation and utilize mineralogical research to enhance mineral processing efficiency while reducing environmental impact. Our specialized areas include:

Essential metals: rare earth elements (REE), platinum group metals, niobium, tantalum, indium, tungsten, and lithium.
Granitic and metamorphic formations in South West England along with their related mineral deposits.
Dynamic processes within massive magma chambers, exemplified by Greenland's Skaergaard intrusion.
The planet's rarest volcanic systems that discharge carbonate-rich (carbonatite) magmas.
