Reservoir Minerals is a mineral exploration and project generator, our business is focused on….

Maximizing exploration and development opportunities for company making discoveries and development projects.

Building shareholder value while managing downside risks.

• Multiple plays in a portfolio increase the odds of discovery and project success.

• Diversity in metals, geography and project stage reduces portfolio risk.

• Downside risk management and capital preservation achieved through partnerships. Partners fund exploration development after Reservoir has created the initial value.
