Head of Global Affairs, Appian Capital Advisory. Special Envoy, World Gold Council. Distinguished Fellow, RUSI. Former UK Deputy PM & Foreign Secretary.
I am excited to join @KreabLondon, supporting an excellent team in navigating the geopolitical challenges and opportunities for their wide range of clients. https://t.co/o69DjQaAU5
INVESTMENT: Appian acquires Omico Copper, an attractive, undeveloped copper deposit with a clearly defined development pathway, attractive cost position and potential to produce ~30k tonnes of copper per year over a ~15‑yr mine life. https://t.co/TiXqQ3GjgQ
I appreciated the opportunity to join Louis Marechal and the @OECD team at their critical minerals forum in Istanbul. Valuable opportunity to discuss the Public Private Partnerships needed to build resilient supply chains.

This is a rare, smart and sober analysis of the deeper geopolitical differences at stake - beneath the froth - dividing Western views over the conflict with Iran.
The real transatlantic divide is about more than Trump via @FT

RUSI is pleased to welcome The Rt Hon. @DominicRaab as a Distinguished Fellow.
A former Deputy Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary and Lord Chancellor, Mr Raab brings extensive experience in UK foreign policy, legislation and international affairs to RUSI’s Fellowship. https://t.co/edAGMr0e07
Great to discuss geopolitics & critical minerals with @EleniGiokos on @cnni in the margins of #FutureMineralsForum in Riyadh - covering Iran, Venezuela and critical mineral supply chains. @AppianCapital👇
VIDEO: Appian's Head of Global Affairs @DominicRaab was at the @FutureMineral Forum in Saudi Arabia this week, answering calls for a mobilization of global capital for mining investment. https://t.co/vKiLMED1n2
Important initiative. Central Bank purchasing schemes can help elevate responsible artisanal miners out of the shadow economy, and plug them into a viable supply chain, whilst crowding out the bad actors and curtailing illicit flows.👇
I am excited to take up the role of Special Envoy at the World Gold Council @GOLDCOUNCIL , supporting responsible artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), whilst addressing the violent exploitation of ASGM which finances terrorism, mercenaries and organised crime.
Tuesday’s From Fraud to Accountability event, hosted by the Representation of the State of Hessen to the EU and organised by @BETTERFINANCE, underscored how illicit finance, global security and consumer protection are now inseparable across Europe.
It was a pleasure to join @Better_Finance for their event on fraud and accountability in Brussels. I spoke on behalf of @GOLDCOUNCIL to the proliferating violent exploitation of artisanal gold mining communities - and the mercenaries, terrorists and criminal gangs benefiting.
Now speaking: Former UK Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary Dominc Raab, World Gold Council.

I enjoyed discussing with Adam Bolton @TimesRadio what the West needs to do to build up alternative supply chains in critical minerals and rare earths @AppianCapital 👇
“We need trillions of dollars extra investment in minerals.”
Britain is “20 years behind China” in the rare earth minerals market and is at risk of being bottlenecked in critical industries like energy and defence, says @DominicRaab.

Can policy decide the future of mining?
In my latest conversation @digdeep_mining, I’m joined by @DominicRaab, former UK Deputy Prime Minister and now Head of Global Affairs at @AppianCapital.
We discussed the growing importance of government involvement in mining, and why policy, geopolitics and investment are now deeply intertwined with the future of critical minerals.
