Phew! We’ve been working ’round the clock to get this website out of beta, and have just today assembled version 1.0 of the full site. You can finally play with our maps and fascinating niche mining indices, and explore our lists of stocks grouped by mineral and category. See the Picks tab for pre-filtered stocks that pass a battery of financial strength and value tests. We’re also running a “map of the month” on the front page, and of course every company’s properties are mapped on their respective pages.

Plus, we just topped 1700 stocks, which pretty much exhausts the US, Canadian, UK and Australian listings.

Enjoy!

We’ve been busy this weekend. Coming soon, we’re releasing a new layout that puts our datagrid front and center so you can get right down to business.

We’ve also enhanced our search capabilities to allow for even more precise searches. Want to see only microcap companies with producing copper mines in Peru? No problem. Our new system of strict searches means that you may not find what you’re looking for on your first go-around. If that happens, you’re probably awfully picky! Just widen your criteria.

Coming soon, we’re adding Property Search. You’ll be able to find projects by name or criteria, just like you can companies now.

Also, starting this week we will be following up with a lot of you whom we met in Toronto at PDAC 2010. We’ll be asking you to confirm your latest property and resource data, since we’re almost ready to throw this up on the web in all its detail.

Also starting this week we will be unveiling a huge new part of our site: the dedicated company pages. Each company in our database gets 5-6 pages all its own, for free, forever! These include the following:

Overview page: Stock chart, trading data, news, resource summary, analysis summary.

Financials: Fully financial statements for several quarters, plus regulatory filings.

Properties (!): Full descriptive, ownership, resource, production and cost data for every property. Free for now, but later for Premium subscribers only. Peruse for free while PDAC preview lasts — when we put up all 1500 of our companies soon this will be for Premium subscribers only.

Financial Strength: Classic value investing balance sheet analysis plus our own Burn Time.

Price:Ore Ratios: For all companies with resource data, these offer a perspective on how richly or cheaply valued the stock is relative to the company’s rock assets. Again, free only during our PDAC preview.

Profitability Ratios: For producers only, Classic Graham and Dodd analysis of margins and profits.

We are introducing a lot of people to our site this week and getting some great responses and feedback. We’ve got an idea for a new feature as well: Property search (we already have resource, ownership and production data on 1000s of properties, so it makes perfect sense to add a search function just for them, independent of company searches.
