Discovery

Geologist and exploration industry executive, Fabian Baker has a track-record of discovery and leading new approaches in responsible mineral exploration.

Previously, as founder and CEO of TSXV-listed Tethyan Resources, the team introduced new thinking to a historical lead-zinc-silver mining camp in Serbia and discovered two porphyry copper-gold deposits prior to being acquired by Adriatic Metals in 2020. As Chief Geologist at Lydian International’s greenfield Amulsar gold discovery in Armenia, Mr Baker was integral to the discovery of +4 million ounces and delivering a maiden Feasibility Study. Additionally, he was a recent founder and director of Highlander Silver in Peru, and former Exploration Manager for Royal Road Minerals in Turkey.

He also led several country-entry processes to expand the company’s exploration footprint into new frontiers. More recently as President and CEO of Highlander Silver (HSLV.V), he led acquisition of the San Luis project (Peru) from SSR Mining, one of the highest-grade gold-silver resources of its size globally.

He previously helped build a Nordic portfolio of magmatic sulphide projects at Kingsrose Mining, leading technical workstreams during its BHP Xplor participation which resulted in a multi-year US$5M/annum non-dilutive Exploration Alliance. At Adriatic Metals, Scott contributed to regional exploration across the Vares Project and growth of the high-grade polymetallic Rupice deposit through the discovery of Rupice North. Before Adriatic’s acquisition of Tethyan Resources, Scott worked on porphyry Cu-Au and epithermal Zn-Pb-Ag systems in Serbia’s Western Tethyan Belt.
