About Brent

Brent Cook is an economic geologist and mining analyst who has been involved in the mineral exploration and mining business for 34 years. During this time, he has evaluated and valued grassroots through feasibility stage projects involving nearly all deposit types in over 60 countries. In 1997 he got tired of promoters making all the money on questionable properties while he was left standing soaking wet in the jungle and joined Rick Rule at Global Resource Investments (now Sprott-Global). He was principal mining analyst at Global until going independent again in 2002. Since then he has been an independent analyst and advisor to several investment funds and high-net-worth individuals. He is the founder of Exploration Insights and continues to support the weekly publication in the role of a senior advisor.
