Jeff Welborn (BA, JD)

Jeff has over forty-five years’ experience in the mineral exploration industry – twenty-five years as a mining, oil & gas and natural resources lawyer in private practice; nine years in corporate senior management roles in WMC Resources Ltd; and fifteen years as a co-founder/partner at WMS. He assists WMS clients with commercial strategy development, with program design and planning, with deal analysis and negotiation and with management of issues that involve minerals and land access.

Jeff’s experience covers a broad range of commercial, legal and risk management matters that comprise the non-technical side of mineral exploration and mining. His focus is on commercial, legal, and business risk management at the senior management level. Jeff works with mining and exploration companies on program design, non-technical due diligence and business risk management in the pursuit of growth opportunities globally.
