Featured Mining Investment Opportunities

The quantity of information that is needed to make rationale mining investment decisions is immense.   It is near impossible to read all the daily emails or go to all the conferences and meetings on mining that have as their ultimate gold-goal the provision of advice to help you make profitable mining investment decisions.  Now there is one more source of information; and I venture that it is a good and useful one.

There are two parts to this new feature.

The first is called Financials.  Besides the name of the listed mining company, are what are titled Investment Details.  Here you will find a link to their official website.   You will also find the stock exchange on which the company is listed; the currency they deal in; current share price; volume; percent change of share price; and 52-week highs and lows.

A second page is called Commodity Exposure.  Here are listed the region in which they mine and the commodities they mine.  Thus if you are a gold bug and read MineWeb and their endless stream of predictions that the price of gold will rise, here you can find the companies in which to invest in the hope they will make you rich mining gold.   I was surprised by how few mine uranium–I cannot but believe that is more valuable than gold.  For with uranium you can make energy; whereas gold merely sits idle in a vault making you believe you can buy carrots & guns with the bars in the event of an economic melt-down.

The list of companies is not the entire universe of mining companies.  That is why you will find only one company mining coal, another useful product, in my simple view of things.  There is room to expand the companies list; at least include more coal mining companies.

There is no indication of why some companies are listed and some are not.  I am informed that only ”featured” companies are listed; and a featured/listed company apparently pays InfoMine to be featured/listed.  I am not sure if that makes them a better investment than an unfeatured/unlisted company.  You decide on the basis of your opinion about the merits of company profits going to featuring/listing as compared to dividends.

The companies are not listed alphabetically.  So you can have fun stumbling your way down the list to come across surprises you had not previously heard of.  Then more fun is to click on the link to enjoy the company description.  Some florid writing to be found.

Considering how difficult it is to keep abreast of mining investment opportunities, this new feature is to be welcomed.  I recommend giving it a try.  If you have suggestions to improve it, email them to me and I will forward them on  to the folk who are compiling it.
