In this episode of Mining Stock Education, host Bill Powers welcomes back Jamie Keech of ResourceInsider.com for a deep dive into the 'energy decade'—a transformative period he believes will mirror the tech boom of the past two decades, but in energy infrastructure and resources. Keech, a former mining engineer with over a decade of experience, explains how the massive energy demands of data centers and AI have exposed the physical world's limited carrying capacity, creating unprecedented investment opportunities in energy and mining. He details how his newsletter has evolved from a gold and copper-focused service to a diversified platform investing in advanced-stage exploration, energy royalties, and private infrastructure assets like terminals. A key strategic shift involves focusing on high-conviction, advanced-stage projects with proven data and stable operating environments, while largely abandoning high-risk grassroots exploration due to poor historical returns. Keech also discusses the ethical dynamics of the junior mining sector, where he observes a natural progression from 'prey' to 'predator' for those who stay in the game, and warns of pump-and-dump schemes. The episode concludes with the launch of Resource Insider’s new public stock-picking service, aimed at democratizing access to high-conviction mining investments, backed by a highly qualified team with boots-on-the-ground due diligence and a data-driven, disciplined approach. The host underscores the sector’s extreme volatility—offering both massive upside and rapid downside—emphasizing the need for rigorous research and emotional discipline.
The 'energy decade' is underway, driven by AI and data center energy demands, creating massive opportunities in energy infrastructure and critical minerals.
Focus on advanced-stage exploration over grassroots projects: advanced-stage companies with proven data and stable operations consistently outperform, while grassroots plays have near-100% failure rates.
Resource Insider has shifted from private placements to a diversified strategy including private energy infrastructure businesses (e.g., terminals) and a new public stock-picking service.
Private equity-style infrastructure plays in the $30–50M range are undervalued and ripe for consolidation, with potential public listing at 10–15x EBITDA once scale is achieved.
The junior mining sector rewards disciplined, data-driven investors—emotional attachment to stocks is a recipe for disaster.

The Energy Decade: A New Era of Investment
“We are going to see this in everything from investment in nuclear energy, renewables, I mean, I think I'm more right than ever before.”
The Shift from Grassroots to Advanced-Stage Exploration
“When I look at the other end of the spectrum on the sort of true grassroots exploration, no resource, there's a field or a mountaintop somewhere and we're going to go drill holes and make a discovery. We had nearly 100% failure rate on that.”
Building Private Energy Infrastructure: The Terminal Play
“We're buying these little businesses... they exist in this weird niche because the, call it the commodity infrastructure world kind of exists on two scales.”
The Ethics of the Junior Mining Game: Predator vs. Prey
Keech discusses the moral and strategic evolution in the junior mining sector, where investors often start as 'prey' but can become 'predators' by exploiting capital markets. He warns of pump-and-dump schemes and the dangers of misaligned incentives, while emphasizing that most players are desperate, not malicious, and often lie to themselves about risk.
The Launch of Resource Insider’s New Stock-Picking Service
The company has launched a new public stock-picking service, offering monthly picks in gold, copper, and other commodities. This marks a major shift toward democratizing access to high-conviction mining investments, with a focus on consistent, data-driven returns rather than speculative 100x gains.
“I'm trying to think of a diplomatic way to say this, but you're basically making money off of other people.”
“When I look at the other end of the spectrum on the sort of true grassroots exploration, no resource, there's a field or a mountaintop somewhere and we're going to go drill holes and make a discovery. We had nearly 100% failure rate on that.”
“There is no sector that I know of that has offered up as many predictable circumstances where there was the possibility, certainly not the certainty, but the possibility of 10 for 1 returns as there is in small cap and micro cap mining stocks.”
