I am very excited to announce something that I've been working on behind the scenes over the past couple of months, in fact I've been working for several years on it.
Back in 2009 I met Joe Martin, founder of Cambridge House International, the junior mining conference company, and he very generously started bringing me to shows and introducing me to the mining investment letter writers. I like to think Joe believed in me because I had a good grasp of internet marketing, and had five stock brokers in my small family, which gave me a decent introduction to his target market.
I remember meeting the likes of Brent Cook, David and Eric Coffin, Marin Katusa, Doug Casey and Lawrence Roulston, and realizing pretty quickly that I had a lot to learn if I was ever going to be successful in the junior resource business.
I launched the TommyHumphreys.com blog in 2010 and its successor site CEO.ca in 2012 as a way to stake my claim in the industry I had become entirely consumed by. I started interviewing the most successful people I could find in both mining and energy. Soon the market turned sour and we were among the only people doing it, and some fantastic pieces of information, and great investment ideas came across our plate (and with time we like to think we are getting better at recognizing them).
CEO.ca has operated as a free site since its inception, but we've always wanted to grow to offer a paid version as well, even if we weren't quite sure when to start. We decided to just put our heads down and keep moving forward as best we could amid the mining bear market.
This past May I was on a series of mine tours in Colombia when my phone rang. My colleague Travis McPherson had learned that Lawrence Roulston, a junior mining analyst we respect immensely, heard we were interested in helping to grow a newsletter.
Roulston founded Resource Opportunities (R.O.) in 1998, and grew it into one of the most successful independent investment newsletters, delivering dozens of ten baggers to investors as commodities markets soared in the 2000's.
A geologist deeply respected in the industry, we first met Lawrence in 2010, while he was speaking at a Cambridge House conference. We subsequently worked together on a few stories and interviews, and have kept casually acquainted over the past few years.
When I returned from Colombia, Lawrence and I went back and forth about what the future of his newsletter should look like. We both agreed that the outlook for resource investments has improved significantly, and a competitive mining newsletter requires both incredible content and user experience, so we decided to work together very shortly thereafter.
Our contributions to R.O. will become more noticeable in the weeks and months that follow, and will only be made to the benefit of subscribers.
It's not just me who is getting behind Resource Opportunities, my colleague Travis is as keen and capable to add value to subscribers as I am, and there are other, unsung CEO.ca heroes whom we owe a lot to. We are also in the final stages of bringing on an experienced mining engineer to help us find outstanding investment opportunities in the sector we are so passionate about: early stage natural resources.
We are committed to growing CEO.ca and delivering the very best content to our readers each and every single day. For those of you that want us to stick our necks out a little more, and receive our highest conviction ideas first, you should subscribe to Resource Opportunities (Purchase an annual subscription for $299 here).
We look forward to the exciting times ahead, and thank you for being a part of our growing community.
Sincerely,
Tommy Humphreys
