Alba Mineral Resources is pleased to introduce Dr Curtis Rooks, MIMMM, our Principal Geologist and a specialist in igneous petrology and economic geology with a particular focus on rare earth and niobium deposits.

Curtis brings over seven years of research and field experience in critical metals, having completed his PhD at the University of St Andrews, where he investigated the controls on critical-metal mineralisation at the Motzfeldt Complex in southern Greenland. His work has helped advance understanding of how rare-earth and niobium systems form — knowledge essential for identifying and developing new sources of these strategically important elements.

In addition to his academic background, Curtis has collaborated widely with industry partners and research institutions focused on strengthening the global supply chain for critical minerals that enable the energy transition. His expertise supports Alba’s work to responsibly explore and advance projects in Greenland, Sweden, and Wales, aligning science-driven exploration with environmental stewardship and long-term value creation.

In this short video, Dr Rooks discusses his background, his insights into Greenland’s unique geology, and how ongoing research is helping shape Alba’s next phase of exploration and discovery.
