He helped refine and speed up the process of assaying precious metals. Before joining the Mint he worked as a chemist and geologist in the Victorian goldfields. Foord published widely and was a Fellow of the Chemical Society (FCS), member of the Victorian Institute for the Advancement of Science from 1854 and of the Royal Society of Victoria from 1872.
