Martin Rosser is a chartered mining engineer with over 40 years’ practical mining industry and financial markets experience, having graduated with a degree in mining engineering from the Camborne School of Mines in 1981.

Initially, he spent five years working as a mining engineer in Australia, both on underground and surface gold mines, including time with Western Mining Corporation as Shaft Superintendent at Central Norseman. In 1987, he returned to the UK and worked as a mining analyst with two City stockbrokers until 1989, when he joined the regulated natural resources industry specialist firm of David Williamson Associates Limited as a founder employee and then executive director. During this time he developed extensive worldwide mining industry contacts in the course of providing corporate finance, mining analysis and Europe wide investor relations services to the firm’s clients.

In mid-2005 Martin joined AIM listed Alexander Mining plc and became CEO in 2007, leading the company through the finalisation of a feasibility study for an open pit copper mine in Argentina; the diversification into innovative mineral processing technology and other energy metals, including lithium; and the completion of a reverse takeover transaction in January 2020. Prior to joining Oriole, Martin worked as a mining consultant.
