Galvin Investment Company, LLC (GIC), was formed to manage, acquire and refine concentrated metals using a new, proven Plasma Arc technology to extract precious metals from highly concentrated mining byproducts. 

GIC’s mission is to provide a first-of-its-kind green Plasma Arc technology for extracting precious metals from complex high-grade concentrates into finished Dore Bars.

GIC’s proprietary technology and process converts mining byproducts that were previously economically unfeasible to extract into salable precious metals removes environmental liabilities and their economic overhang from mining and Superfund sites.

The extraction process covers eight high-grade precious metals: Gold, Silver, Platinum Palladium, Rhodium, Osmium, Iridium and Ruthenium.

Extracted metals will be made into Dore Bars. The gold, platinum and palladium will go to the world markets. GIC has identified buyers for the other precious metals, including the United States government for use in military defense systems

Richard C. Galvin is founder, CEO and Chairman of Gilman Investment Company (GIC) and its subsidiaries. GIC is the combination of Galvin’s years of deep technical and operation experience in the mining industry and first-hand involvement with a Superfund site.

Prior to founding GIC, Galvin was director and acting president of American Consolidated Holding Company (AMCH) where he oversaw a portfolio of mineral, pipeline and oil and gas properties with an acquisition book value of more than $104 MM. During his tenure with AMCH, he negotiated the purchase of several properties, including a major Montana coal asset and historic gold/silver/copper mining interest in the state of Michoacán, Mexico.  He also oversaw the company acquisition of a 20 percent working interest in the Gilman Property, a 6,000-acre property in Eagle County, CO once designated as a Superfund site.

Prior to his time with Gilman and AMCH, close ties to and a family history in the oil and gas business paved the way in 1978 for Galvin to be appointed to the board of directors and elected President of Penn Star Oil Corporation, a publicly traded company. Galvin subsequently increased the number of company wells from 10 to 450, and annual production was increased from $10,000 a month to more than $1.2 MM a month. During this period the company’s stock rose from $.10 to $3.10 a share.

Galvin started his career with Prudential Insurance, where he was a top producer in a seven-state region. He has also held a

Colorado Real Estate License since 1976, and has brokered commercial real estate and development property.
