Russell Menezes

Meet Russell, the visionary CEO and co-founder of RadiXplore, who is revolutionizing the resources sector by harnessing the power of AI to accelerate mineral discovery and reduce exploration risk. As a geologist who experienced firsthand the challenge of manually analyzing decades of unstructured geological data, Russell transitioned into data science and software development with a singular mission: to unlock the hidden potential within the earth's resources. This led him to establish RadixGeo, a consultancy streamlining data management through robotic process automation and machine learning.

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Russell then created RadiXplore, an innovative AI platform that leverages deep learning, natural language processing, and large language models to analyze millions of pages of complex geological data in minutes, offering clients up to 80% reduction in analysis time. With RadiXplore, resource-oriented organizations can optimize their workflows, gain higher confidence in prospect generation, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Russell's vision extends beyond initial discoveries, aiming to leverage RadiXplore's capabilities across the entire resources value chain to support strategic, economic, and ESG goals for a sustainable future.
