Tibor Parák

Tibor Parák (18 November 1928 – 30 July 2023) was a Hungarian geologist known for his mineral explorations and academic contributions to economic geology. Parák arrived in Sweden from Soviet-occupied Hungary as a refugee in 1956.

He was active at LKAB as chief geologist from 1974 to 1977. In 1977 he became CEO of a new prospecting company created by LKAB. After criticizing the uranium mining project at Pleutajokk openly for its unprofitable low grade and purported environmental risks these differences made Parák leave LKAB in 1981. Parák's criticism was given some credence when years later the project was abandoned.

In the 1990s he moved into consultancy being involved in various mining projects in Sweden and Brazil.
