About RTC
Resource Technologies Corporation (RTC) has been in the mineral property and mineral business evaluation and appraisal line of work since 1980. We provide services to financial institutions, businesses (large and small), various national, state, and local governments, as well as numerous private individuals throughout North America. In short, our specialty is to determine the value of a resource or mineral reserve, as well as the value of mineral or mineral related businesses. RTC works with oil and gas, coal, crushed stone, sand and gravel, granite, gold, water, clays, and other industrial minerals. We have completed appraisals of properties and businesses representing values of thousands to billions of dollars – small mineral deposits to large integrated institutions including captive mines and power plants and integrated aggregate quarries and construction firms. A significant portion of our business has recently focused on providing valuation assistance for financial or estate planning to land owners that are leasing Marcellus shale and/or other mineral commodities. Our staff provides expert testimony in state and federal court cases.
