On January 8, 2026, the company appointed Dr. Deepak Malholtra and Mr. Barry Miller to its Board of Directors. In a related move, Mr. Miller has also taken on the role of Vice President for Corporate Development.
Dr. Malholtra brings over 50 years of experience in the mining industry, specializing in mineral processing. He has a proven track record in overseeing projects throughout the mineral development lifecycle, including research, process design, and operational audits. His extensive background includes the commercialization of processing plants with capital costs ranging from $15 million to $750 million. Dr. Malholtra holds a Ph.D. in Mineral Economics and a Master of Science in Metallurgical Engineering. He is also an accomplished author, with more than 60 technical publications and four patents related to mineral processing technologies.
Mr. Miller is recognized as an accomplished entrepreneur with over 30 years of experience in the natural resources sector. His expertise lies in identifying promising mineral and metal prospects, particularly in critical and precious metals. He has explored various regions, including the tropical rainforests of South America and the mountainous terrains of northern British Columbia and the Yukon. Throughout his career, Mr. Miller has successfully founded and led numerous ventures, providing strategic guidance to companies navigating complex financial landscapes.
In discussing the new appointments, Mr. Ripplinger, the company’s CEO, expressed enthusiasm about the combined expertise of Dr. Malhotra and Mr. Miller. He stated, “I am incredibly pleased to have Dr. Malholtra and Mr. Miller joining the leadership team for ResourceTec. Their combined experience will be invaluable not only with our current projects, but they will also help guide our future activities, to identify prospects, prove them up, and then work to successfully process the mined materials.”
ResourceTec’s Strategic Focus on Natural Resources
ResourceTec Corporation adopts a portfolio approach to its operations, focusing on the identification, development, and monetization of asymmetric natural resource assets, which include critical metals, minerals, and precious metals across the Americas. The company aims to achieve its objectives through a combination of acquisitions, property development, joint ventures, royalty streams, and asset sales.
Currently, ResourceTec does not possess sufficient funds to execute these plans. The company intends to raise additional financing via private debt or equity, although it has not yet initiated any fundraising activities. ResourceTec’s strategy emphasizes the adoption of leading-edge technology to enhance shareholder returns while maintaining a commitment to environmentally sustainable practices.
The company also included a cautionary statement regarding forward-looking information in its announcement. This statement highlights the inherent uncertainties and risks associated with its future operations, including exploration challenges, regulatory requirements, and market conditions.
Investors and stakeholders are advised to consider these factors carefully, as actual events may differ markedly from the company’s projections. ResourceTec has made it clear that no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and that the company is not obligated to update any such statements following this announcement.
As ResourceTec Corporation moves forward with these leadership changes, the company is poised to navigate the evolving landscape of the natural resources sector under the guidance of experienced professionals.
