Fabian Baker, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of FrontierX, said: “There are few businesses, or careers, that can be more exciting and rewarding than mineral exploration and well-executed discovery remains as valuable as ever. Yet, the capital and time required for meaningful discovery-focused work is being eroded and discovery rates are in decline.
We are also witness to rapidly evolving operating environments and technologies, which all impact the capabilities, funding and approach required to be successful in exploration today.
At FrontierX, we’ve taken a step back, thrown out preconceptions of how it has always been done, and simply asked ourselves, “what are the ingredients that good exploration requires?”. From there, we’ve reimagined an exploration business built for discovery in the modern world.
The FrontierX model centres on partnership, leveraging our combined capabilities. We look forward to fostering partnerships globally to deliver viable discoveries long into the future.”
About FrontierX®
Designed from the ground up to create a unique environment to support successful exploration behaviours. FrontierX harnesses the power of partnership to deliver agile, focused and high-quality exploration programmes. By operating outside of short-term funding cycles and public market distractions, FrontierX can concentrate on what matters most: operational excellence, disciplined decision-making and long-term value creation.
FrontierX brings together the best attributes of both large and small companies. From majors, it draws on scale, deep expertise and a long-term perspective. From smaller explorers, it adopts speed, flexibility, locally embedded sustainability and a sharp technical focus. The result is an exploration business designed to move quickly, test ideas rigorously and deploy capital efficiently, without compromising on quality.
With a commitment to building enduring partnerships and a pipeline of quality exploration opportunities, FrontierX aims to become a leading dedicated exploration company, one capable of delivering meaningful discoveries for communities and our partners globally.
FrontierX is co-founded by Fabian Baker (CEO), Dave Fincham (COO) and Andrew Tunningley (Chief Geologist) who each bring decades of mineral exploration and commercial experience. The team’s bios and more information about FrontierX is available on the company website www.frontier-exploration.com.
