About Dr Graham Begg

Graham Begg has a PhD on epithermal gold systems and tectonics from Monash University.

During 22 years as a geologist with WMC Ltd and BHP Billiton Ltd he gained experience in minerals exploration for a variety of commodities and from 2002-2007 was responsible for the global targeting framework for project generation.

From mid-2002 to the end of 2010 he was also a principal investigator in a (WMC/BHPB) collaborative research project with the GEMOC group at Macquarie University, Sydney. This project aimed to create the first detailed map of the global continental mantle lithosphere, to facilitate a breakthrough in both understanding the controls on giant ore-forming systems, and by extension, greenfields mineral discovery.

In 2007 he formed his own consulting company Minerals Targeting International Pty Ltd, and funds continued collaborative research into lithospheric mapping. He was the 2009 International Exchange Lecturer for the Society of Economic Geologists.
