What you see here in this beta version is just the core of our site, the datagrid. It’s a stock screen custom-built for finding exactly the mining companies you’re interested in, and then comparing them by 48 different data points.

We think our screener is the best out there, hands down. But what if you want to see even more on a particular company? In this beta site, we have stock charts, some trading info, news and filings, but the truth is you can get that stuff anywhere (Yahoo, Google, marketwatch, etc.). You come to us because we give you the data that matters for mining companies, which is all about the rock: where, what kind, how much, how well-defined, any production, and at what cost to mine? This is a lot more than we can pack into our datagrid, so, to be released soon, we’ve created dedicated 5-6 page sections for each and every company. Here you’ll find a full page or more on properties, where we give you all the gory details of resources, production, costs, and notes for every mineral on every property in a company’s portfolio.

We also have pages for financial statements, financial analysis and mining-specific valuation analysis, as well as an overview page to give you the basics at a glance. This is also where we’re going to put company profiles, our write-ups of sponsors and selected companies. Sponsors will also have the ability to give us powerpoints, pdfs, videos and other media for what will be a sort of mini-website just about the company.

These company pages will be up in a few days, and while we’re still in beta for the next few weeks everyone will be able to see the full property data on each of the PDAC attendees that we’re using as a demo. When we have the kinks smoothed out we’ll put up several hundred more companies and exit beta, at which time we’ll start charging for full data access. The site will still be open to the public, but you’ll need a premium subscription to see resource and property data.

So those are our plans. Exciting times around here this spring, seeing 2+ years of work come to fruition.
