James Goodrich

Founder James Goodrich has 35 years of insight in the resource industry with a special emphasis on new processes and their implementation. In his experience with railroads, logistics, manufacturing, and mineral development, he has gained broad knowledge of resource economics, material handling, industrial processes, logistics management, and many specific materials. He has developed relationships with a wide range of experts that can advance research and development in an orderly and cost conservative manner.

Since 2005, James has been performing land research and GIS analysis for resource development projects. In this role, work groups have used GIS and SharePoint databases to facilitate project management of exploration, development, and transaction due diligence. These collaborators operate in secure server environments networking up to 100 remote users as well as dozens of outside client users. This has given James the proper respect for finding the best people as contractors and the familiarity of what is possible in collaborative projects where the participants are widely scattered.

Experience is grounded with education, including a post-baccalaureate certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) from Pennsylvania State University. He is a graduate of the University of Colorado with a Bachelor of Business Administration, concentration in Finance.

James offers the following:

  • Passion and curiosity for new resource materials and production models.
  • Exceptional spatial intelligence informs the way he sees opportunities.
  • 15 years on the ground as a contractor for early stage resource development projects including energy, precious and base metals, industrial minerals, rights-of-way, and industrial development.
  • Vision to recognize relationships among locations, desired products, waste products, and possible co-production.
  • Communicator who inspires a team with broader vision of possibilities, grounded in strong research and scientific process.
  • True team player who seeks the highest good for all involved while remaining a steadfast and responsible steward of our common home.
