EMMETT D'URSO
Exploration Geologist
BSc., BA
Emmett D’Urso is a graduate of the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Science and Arts double degree in mineral geology, environmental science, and anthropology. He has spent most of his career in precious metals exploration, both in Western Australia and Victoria, contributing to all aspects of the exploration process through to the resource stage. Emmett has extensive experience in executing and managing exploration programs, being an advocate for a strong exploration rationale, constrained by sound science. As URO Corporation’s full-time exploration geologist, Emmett is integral to the success of its ventures. He is very excited to be a part of URO’s new exploration team, looking for the next big discovery in the Northern Territory. In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his son, bushwalking and flying light aircraft.
“I have worked for many junior explorers over my career, and I have to say that URO’s exploration ground is by far the most interesting I’ve seen, both in terms of the variety of potential commodities, as well as a mixture of hard rock and sedimentary targets.” Emmett D’Urso
