Erhan Gümüş

Exploration Manager with 14+ years of international experience across metallic mining, industrial minerals, and critical raw materials. I have worked in diverse geological and operational environments, primarily in Turkey and West Africa, covering the full exploration lifecycle from early-stage discovery through advanced-stage exploration, resource definition, and project development. My experience spans gold, metallic deposits, and critical and strategic minerals, with leadership in exploration strategy, target generation, drilling programs, and team and budget management. I apply a portfolio-driven, value-oriented approach that balances geological risk with capital-efficient decision-making. As of 2026, my professional focus is on metallic mining and critical minerals, with emphasis on exploration portfolio development, acquisition of new projects and licenses, and geological and economic value creation.
