Main Research Interests Hydrothermal Ore Deposits, Rare Metals, Fluid Inclusions, Peralkaline Rocks, Geochemistry. My research is devoted mainly to understanding the formation of hydrothermal ore deposits. In particular, I have investigated rare-metal bearing alkaline rocks, orogenic gold deposits, pegmatite/granite Nb-Ta, greisen- and vein-hosted W and Sb, porphyry and emerald deposits. Recently, I have been involved in studies dealing with green-energy resources, such as lithium and hydrogen, as well as on sustainable recovery of metals in active mines and tailings. My approach is field-based, and ranges from mineralogical to fine-scale analytical and fluid-inclusion investigations. The aim is to characterize and model the processes that occur when hot fluids interact with rocks in the crust, alter them, carry and eventually precipitate metals to form a deposit. In the past, I have also played around with solubility experiments. For several years I have been part of the West African Exploration Initiative (WAXI), a research and training program financed by the international mining industry under the coordination by Amira International. The project focuses on the mineral potential of the West African craton, with a particular emphasis on gold mineralization in greenstone belts.

I am or have been involved in a number of project, recent ones including: H2Kola – Critical metals and reduced gases in agpaitic peralkaline rocks (2021-2024) Industry-funded – Sustainable recovery of critical metals in porphyry Cu mines and tailings (2019-2020) CMIC (Canada Mining Innovation Council) – Origin and footprint of orogenic gold mineralizations (2015-2018) Partner with BRGM (French Geological Survery) – Traceability of fluids using quartz geochemistry and W and Sn mineralizations (2015-2018) WAXI-AMIRA P934B – Multiscale footprints of mineral systems (2015-2018)
For several years I have tought to the DEA (French MSc) and Professional Master’s programs a course on the genesis of hydrothermal ore deposits and techniques to study them.
