exploRESOURCES’ mission is to help stock brokers, investment advisors and investors navigate the resource sector with greater understanding and success. To do this, exploRESOURCES has created two revolutionary tools, the 2009 Global Resource Reference and ShareKNOW.net.
Our major client, the PDAC (Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada), had incredible success attracting investors to their annual convention in Toronto. To that end, we helped with our annual official directory of the PDAC, with popular articles explaining the resource sector’s inner machinations to the lay person. As a result, we helped increase attendance at the PDAC convention in the past 4 years by almost 300%.
But the PDAC felt (and we agreed) that the investing audience at the show was underrepresented by the major players in the mining industry – the brokers and investment advisors.
We believe that there is a disconnect between resource companies and the investing sector. The existing communication model whereby IR officers “cold call” investors and potential investors is simply not working effectively. Companies spend billions on exploration and development, but the data and the significance of those efforts is not being communicated to the investing public.
Enter the 2009 Global Resource Reference (Print Edition) and ShareKnow.net.
2009 Global Resource Reference (GRR)
The 2009 Global Resource Reference is hand delivered to stockbrokers and investment advisors across North America, Europe and Asia, bi-annually. Its 300 pages contain every resource company, plus all of their projects, their 43-101 resource and reserve data, management, significant shareholders – even the company’s objectives for 2009. In seconds, the GRR allows the reader to know all the important detail about a company and its projects, and make better informed decisions.
Prior to ShareKnow.net there was no way for the investor to quickly evaluate resource projects, objectively, and compare project globally in a standardized format. The problems understanding data are almost insurmountable – companies use different methods of measuring resources, and the language used to communicate that data is often impenetrable.
Our team of data managers has gathered all the data available from every company listed on the TSX and TSX Venture, and has standardized that data, to allow you – the investor – to quickly determine in situ, gross and net valuations of almost every exploration and mining project in the world.
Click on a project to see the GRR Calculator. The data is all there – although you can change the data as required to account for political risk, existing infrastructure, future expansion, and more.
The advanced search functionality is a powerful, tour de force for ShareKnow. Using this tool, you can quickly compare companies and projects based on any number of factors. Want to invest only in gold companies? How about gold companies just in one location? ShareKnow’s advanced search functionality allows users to search and compare companies using dozens of search strings, including:
- valuation
- cash-flows
- stage of development
- significant shareholders
- management
- location
- commodity
- resource size
- level of certainty
- and many more…
