Britney Assam is a graduate researcher in Geology whose work focuses on the petrology and mineralisation of metallic deposits in the Wag Water Belt, Jamaica. Her research combines geochemical analysis and optical microscopy to investigate the formation conditions and tectonic settings of metal-bearing rocks. She is particularly interested in understanding the processes that control the genesis of economically valuable minerals such as copper, lead, zinc, and gold within island arc environments. Her long-term goal is to pursue a PhD and contribute to academic research in mineral deposit petrology, with an emphasis on sustainable resource exploration. She is also passionate about bridging academic research with industry applications and hopes to one day collaborate with mining and exploration companies to support responsible mineral development in the Caribbean and beyond.
