The Team
Geologist with 20 years of international experience across mineral exploration and contaminated land remediation. Tony spent years travelling the outback of Australia searching for mineral discovery opportunities, yet the biggest opportunity was in plain sight in the form of legacy metals from historic mines and their mining wastes.
Tony founded Myco Metals to commercialise fungal bioleaching as a green, clean solution for critical mineral recovery and precious metals from these sites.

Experienced consultant and NED to a number of innovation based start-up companies in the mining, mining services and manufacturing sectors.
