Mining industry full search engine : Prospector? King, a geologist, and entrepreneur with extensive mining industry experience including roles with the Department of Defense, early-stage ventures, and publicly traded companies saw a glaring need in the market for a service like Prospector. She founded Prospector as a partnership between her consultancy, Global Venture, and Northern Light, a Boston-based industry leader in machine-learning powered management platforms, to develop the product.
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.
“We consider Prospector to be part of the new guard of investor platforms. Our platform brings a transformational shift in the way investors access mining data and conduct due diligence — lowering the barrier to entry and reducing investor risk,” said founder Emily King. “And that’s what makes this such a brilliant collaboration.”
Traditional methods of identifying promising mineral deposits or mines for investment are not helpful when the documents are so large and challenging to find on existing platforms. Prospector turns this public disclosure of highly technical data into market intelligence in a user-friendly search engine that even non-traditional mining investors can use and understand — putting a list of global mineral assets that fit investors’ critical investment criteria at their fingertips.
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 more info on Prospector.
“We can’t transition to a low-carbon, high-tech economy without mining the copper, gold, and rare earths needed to make solar panels, lithium-ion batteries, wind turbines, and electric cars,” said King. “We want to get millennials and tech and green energy investors to support the new economy by investing in the mines we need to make that new economy a reality.” C. David Seuss, CEO of Northern Light, said, “Emily King brings a deep understanding of the mining industry and investor needs and clearly articulates investor frustration with the existing tools available for analyzing mining investment offerings. With her understanding of the use case and Northern Light’s understanding of search and machine learning technology, we have collaborated to produce the definitive solution for mining investment research.”
