Robert William Allen
Mr. Allen has over 40 years of mining experience in identifying, financing and developing mines in the Americas. He originally entered the mining world by helping to dispose of the coal mines of the Hunt Brothers, who at one time attempted to corner the global silver market and failed, leaving Mr. Allen as his fee the best among these mines. In 1988 he founded the Latin American Mining Institute in Washington D.C. The publication was responsible for translating and updating the foreign investment rules and regulations of all Latin American countries since this information was not available at the time. The business was successfully sold following steady subscription growth from government agencies, mining investors and operators alike. At one point Mr. Allen owned and operated 16 coal mines in West Virginia, five gold mines in Colombia and other mining projects in the Americas. Mr. Allen is an Arkansas native and is the Chairman of Grupo de Bullet S.A.S. and Bullet Holding Corporation, being the largest mineral title holders in Colombia.
