📌 About Our Guest – Brian Leni
The incredible gains that can be made from tiny resource stocks drew me to the junior sector and I haven’t looked back. In 2013, as the resource market continued to decay from its highs in 2011, I made the bold decision to sell my family’s home and used 2/3 of the equity to invest in what I believed were the best junior companies in the sector.

In 2016, I was rewarded for the extensive due diligence and courage I’d shown in the heart of the bear market – my portfolio rose 300%. This gave me the freedom to leave my career as an engineer in the steel industry and pursue investing full time.

Over the last 7 years, I’ve honed my craft as a successful junior resource sector investor and supported my family with the profits I’ve made from my investments. I’ve visited mining sites throughout Canada, the US and Brazil, have been a regular speaker at Metals Investor Forum (MIF), spoken at the Mining Investment North America and Asia conferences, Cambridge House’s VRIC, as well as PDAC’s Letter Writers’ Day, and am a co-host of the Mining Stock Education Podcast.
