David, the “geology side” of
HRA, has been active in
prospecting, resource
calculation, and feasibility
studies for resource companies
for 29 years. He attended the
Haileybury School of Mines,
authored numerous qualifying
reports for resource companies,
and managed and designed field
programs for over 15 years.
His experience is so vast that
scores of companies try and lure
him to look at their projects.
Why? Because they know if their
project has Dave’s seal of
approval, a lot of serious
market players and other
analysts will take notice.
Besides, with his background,
getting Dave to visit a site is
like hiring a top flight
consultant – without the
consulting fees.
Dave went against the crowd in
the late 1990’s urging companies
to return to high grade
underground mining which turned
out to be salvation for many of
them during the bear market that
followed.
David was one of the first
(along with Eric) to call the
current cycle as the secular
trend others have only recently
recognized. They made that call
back in 2001. David is a regular
speaker at Cambridge House, the
PDAC, the New Orleans Gold Show
as well as other resource and
commodity investment shows in
North America and Europe, and
has been interviewed numerous
times on radio and TV and in
third party news articles for
his opinions on the gold sector
and resource stocks in general.
David logs literally hundreds of
thousands of miles every year,
visiting exploration sites on
six continents in order to bring
back the real goods for HRA
subscribers. |

Responsible for
the “financial analysis” side of HRA, Eric has a degree in Corporate and
Investment Finance. He has extensive experience in merger and acquisitions and
small company financing and promotion. For many years he tracked the financial
performance and funding of all exchange listed Canadian mining companies and has
helped with the formation of several successful exploration ventures.
Eric has been
interviewed on CBC Television’s Business News and national and local radio in
Canada and the US for his opinions on resource trends and is a frequent
contributor to several third party publications and a number of resource, gold,
metals and market related Internet sites.
He regularly
speaks at a number of North American gold and resource conferences. He was one
of the first analysts (along with David) to point out the disastrous effects of
gold hedging and gold loan capital financing (1997) and to predict the start of
the current secular bull market in commodities based on the movement of the US
Dollar (2001) and the acceleration of growth in Asia and India.
Eric reviews data from hundreds of companies
seeking strong management and finance teams in undiscovered companies for HRA's
readers. Combined with good share structures and projects that David like,
these companies have the potential to make the HRA list and generate gains for
their readers.
