Mike O'Driscoll, Director & Co-owner - IMFORMED; Henry Sanderson, Executive Editor - Benchmark Mineral Intelligence

Mike O’Driscoll’s life in minerals has spanned four decades, split over two different centuries - a period of immense change. As editor of Industrial Minerals since 1987, he set the foundation for knowledge and networking on a global scale for mineral industries that fell into three categories: industrial, strategic and critical. Now at the helm of IMFORMED, Mike is zeroing in on key mineral markets such as fluorspar, magnesia, mineral recycling, oilfield and Chinese refractory minerals.
