Tim Lucks is the Managing Director of SRK Consulting (UK) Ltd and a Corporate Consultant with twenty years’ experience in exploration and mineral resource geology, the delivery of multidisciplinary studies and audits, and technical advisory services. 

Tim graduated from Leeds University with a PHD in mineral deposit geology, having studied the Laisvall Pb-Zn deposit in Northern Sweden. Over the years with SRK his experience has expanded into a broad range of commodities (metallic and non metallic), with a focus towards mineral resource estimation for fertiliser and industrial minerals. This has included an emphasis on sampling for mineral processing testwork, and technical studies for a range of projects in these commodity groups.

Tim specialises in the development and management of exploration and resource programmes, due diligence, and technical studies ranging from scoping to feasibility level in line with international best practices and the reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves in accordance with International Reporting Codes. Tim’s background has provided him with a firm understanding of the key criteria required for the successful delivery of projects across a variety of disciplines, where he has developed a passion for understanding multi-disciplinary interdependencies within projects and the development of technical study standards to assist in how these are understood and communicated.
