A third generation mining executive, Mr. Adams has spent his career working exclusively in the precious metals mining and energy industries in both operational and management roles. He started his career in Guyana, in operations management for a privately-owned gold exploration company that discovered and developed the eleven-million-ounce Toroparu Deposit. After a successful reverse take-over, he joined Sandspring Resources (now Gold X Mining) and assisted in raising nearly $100 million of public equity capital for the company. In 2014, he moved to the Powder River Basin of Wyoming and founded and operated an oil and gas services company called Energy Fuels Environmental, which he sold to a major midstream energy company in 2017.
