Benchmark mineral property listings on a dollar-per-hectare basis by mineral and jurisdiction, so an asking price can be judged against comparable ground rather than accepted on its own terms.

Mineral properties change hands constantly and almost none of the pricing is public. Unlike listed companies, where a market sets a value every second, a claim block is worth whatever a buyer and seller agree — and neither side usually has much of a reference point.
Dollar per hectare is the crudest possible normalisation and also the only one generally available. It ignores everything that actually determines value, but it puts an asking price into a range, which is more than most buyers start with.
This tool computes that figure across active listings and lets you filter by mineral and country, so a price can be read against the ground it is competing with.
Price per hectare is the asking price divided by the property's area. Treat it as a bucket rather than a valuation: it separates properties priced in the tens of dollars per hectare from those in the thousands, which is a real distinction, and says nothing within a bucket.
Mineral and jurisdiction filters are what make the comparison meaningful at all. Gold ground in Nevada and lithium ground in Manitoba are not substitutes, and comparing across them produces a number with no content.
Size matters to the metric itself. Large land packages almost always price lower per hectare than small ones, because much of a big package is untested ground carried along with the prospective part. A small high-priced block may be perfectly reasonable if the value is concentrated.
What the listing says about work done dominates everything above. Ground with historical drilling, geophysics or a known showing is a different asset from unexplored claims, at any price per hectare.
Look for the property whose price sits below comparable ground for a reason you can dismiss, rather than the lowest price per hectare on the list. The cheapest ground is usually cheapest because nobody wants it — remote, unexplored, or in a jurisdiction where permitting is difficult.
Prior exploration expenditure is the strongest value indicator available. Ground carrying historical drill data, geophysical surveys or documented showings has had money spent on reducing its uncertainty, and that work is expensive to reproduce. A property priced similarly to unexplored claims but carrying a real dataset is where genuine value tends to sit.
Access and infrastructure change economics more than most buyers expect. A property on a road with power nearby can be explored for a fraction of what an equivalent fly-in package costs, and that difference persists through every future programme.
Active listings on the exchange are filtered by primary mineral and country, and price per hectare is computed as asking price divided by total hectares wherever both are stated. The result set is capped, so the view is a sample of current listings rather than a complete market survey.
The range is enormous and the metric is crude. Unexplored claims in remote areas can trade for tens of dollars per hectare, while ground with historical drilling near infrastructure reaches thousands. The figure is only useful within a single mineral and jurisdiction, and even then it is a bucket rather than a valuation.
Because a large package carries a great deal of untested ground alongside the prospective part. Value tends to concentrate in a small area — a showing, a structural target, a drilled zone — and the surrounding claims are staked to protect it. A small block at a high per-hectare price may be entirely reasonable if that is where the value sits.
Prior exploration work above all — drill data, geophysics and documented showings represent money already spent reducing uncertainty, and reproducing it is expensive. After that: access and infrastructure, which determine what every future programme costs, and permitting regime, which determines whether the work can happen at all.
No. These are asking prices from current listings. Transaction prices in mineral property deals are rarely disclosed, so what is visible here is what sellers hope to achieve rather than what buyers have paid.
