Mining industry accurate search engine : Prospector? “The goal is to attract new sources of capital to the mining industry and to increase metal supply required for the renewable energy/electric vehicle economy of the future,” said King. “We want Prospector’s AI to open the door to millennials investing in mining and optimize deal flow for traditional investors.” With the support of machine learning, Prospector synthesizes publicly available but dense technical data on mining projects and then presents results in a highly intuitive, searchable, and organized interface. The tool will help investors quickly find and fund mining assets, saving time and money, as well as preventing them from overlooking prime opportunities.
Prospector, a leader among the new guard of mining, today announced a collaboration with TMX Datalinx, TMX Group’s information services division, to offer a subscription-based platform to Canadian mining data. This platform will provide investors and the mining industry access to Canadian mining data including those mining companies traded on Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and TSX Venture Exchange (TSXV) — both owned and operated by TMX Group. Through this agreement, Prospector’s platform will be synchronized daily with new technical reports and subscribers will have access to historical data.
TSX and TSXV are home to more than 1,100 mining issuers with a combined market capitalization of approximately $445 billion, as at May 31, 2020. In 2019, approximately 48% of the total global mining financing activity happened on both Exchanges. The agreement enables Prospector to rapidly scale and continue to reshape the industry by offering investors access to data with unprecedented ease.
A key feature of Prospector is the automated search and analysis of technical information found in NI 43–101 reports, a national instrument for the Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects within Canada that are required of mineral exploration and mining companies listed on both the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) and Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX-V). Disclosures covered by the 43–101 code include mineral exploration progress, reporting of resources and reserves, and more. NI 43–101 reports average 500 pages long and can reach 1000 pages, making investment analysis extremely cumbersome and time-sensitive.
Founded by global mining expert Emily King, Prospector is a platform designed to improve the accessibility of mining investments. Powered by Artificial Intelligence, Prospector uses AI to offer unprecedented access to mining investment data. Read extra information at Prospector.
Prospector increases transparency, providing a level playing field to quality mineral projects and generates “proprietary deal flow” for each subscriber — a unique differentiator in the market as generalist investors come back to mining and as the mining industry desperately needs new, innovative sources of capital. “Partnering with Northern Light on Prospector enabled us to solve a complicated search and content aggregation problem,” said King. “43–101s are lengthy, complex documents with many formats and data tables embedded in them. Investors seeking to mine them for a nugget of insight will greatly appreciate the power and versatility of our machine learning-enabled Prospector application developed by Northern Light.”
