Founder Emanuel Smith was born in Queensland and is from a mining background. During the 1970’s and 80’s his father Keith was a prospector for a leading North American exploration firm operating in Australia. This firm discovered a Heavy Mineral Sand asset in WA on behalf of Cable Sands. This asset continued producing Heavy Mineral Sands for decades. As an 8 year old, Emanuel’s first job was sorting and tying mineral sample bags in Western NSW. As an adolescent he would accompany his father to visit the copper-lead-zinc and copper-gold structures near Chillagoe and Mt Garnett in North Queensland.
