The company’s President, Mr. Ripplinger, expressed enthusiasm about the new appointments, stating, “I am incredibly pleased to have Dr. Malhotra and Mr. Miller joining the leadership team for ResourceTec.

Strategic Vision for ResourceTec
ResourceTec Corporation aims to adopt a portfolio approach in securing, proving, and monetizing asymmetric natural resource assets, which include critical metals, minerals, and precious metals across the Americas. The company plans to achieve its goals through various strategies such as acquisitions, property development, joint ventures, and royalty streams.
At present, ResourceTec has indicated that it lacks the necessary funding to pursue these objectives. The company intends to raise additional capital through private debt or equity financing, although no fundraising efforts have yet commenced. The aim is to implement advanced technology in resource management to enhance shareholder returns while maintaining environmentally friendly practices.
