We Make Great Barite

Thu 10 Oct 2020

Fresh winds have blown through Barite Mud Services Inc., bringing people and capital resources together to breathe new life into the Buchans resource. A metamorphosis is underway as CEO Mike Rose, COO Gordana Slepčev, and Red Rock Resources (a US-based private equity company) are re-processing the tailings ponds and production has begun, ahead of schedule.
New equipment and a new mining strategy are already producing high-quality API Barite for sale under the BarCan™ trademark.
