I am a Coal Analyst with over 18 years of broad based international experience evaluating and developing natural resources, analyzing commodity markets, and forecasting prices. My passion intersects where extractive resources meet financial markets.

I have real world – “boots on the ground” experience in the mining and energy sectors throughout the US and abroad: Australia, Canada, Indonesia, Mexico and South America. In my early career as a consultant, I managed numerous coal exploration projects around the world and developed resource & reserve models for JORC and NI 43-101 compliant reports. From there I moved into successively more strategic roles, from managing and negotiating coal leases, to budgeting, forecasting coal prices, auditing, and performing various financial analyses as warranted.

In my latest venture, I am delving into public coal markets, leveraging my extensive experience to provide an insider’s perspective on public coal equities. TheCoalTrader.com serves as your independent equity research resource, free from the usual hype and political agendas that characterize traditional Wall Street investment institutions. I hope you’ll find this viewpoint not only refreshing but also invaluable in your decision-making process.

If you need an independent third party review of coal markets, private transactions, or anything coal related, feel free to contact me at ddyer@thecoaltrader.com.
